Question

How is abortion a womans rights issue? not a people issue?

Answer 1

i think mustang up there needs to get a life. and a new attitude or he will never get himself a good woman. anyway, it's woman's rights because it is happening to a woman's body. of course we are all involved, men and woman. but lets face it... society has to put labels on everything and everyone.

Answer 2

cause men don't get pregnant, women do

Answer 3

It is a woman's issue because it involves the woman's body.

Answer 4

I don't know too many woman out there that are married that are having abortions.  Does that tell you something.  Why should a woman have to have a baby that the male does not want  in many cases.   Will not marry her to keep or give her his name and raise the child as a family should be.  Maybe I am biased but I still believe in God, and marriage.

Answer 5

Um, because women have rights too, just like the rest of the people out there.

Answer 6

because women are the ones who get pregnant.

Answer 7

just because we own our body, and we have to decide whether we are ready to take care for a child or not, and there's nobody else to take control over that nor to judge any women's decisions.  

Answer 8

because males don't go to clinics to purge their babies?

Answer 9

Stereotypically speaking, if the woman is getting an abortion the father is probably either not in the picture, or shouldn't be.

The father -should- have a say in it, but it -is- the woman's body.

Answer 10

I agree with Amanda. Couldnt have said it better. :)

Answer 11

i think it is more father's right, if he doesn want the abortion then the woman has no right offcourse. men are born superior anyway.

Answer 12

the more ppl make things biased, te more controversy and attn it gets =/

...politics

Answer 13

I don't know,

Why is it called man slaughter, instead of person slaughter?

Answer 14

Egotism and/or sexism I suppose. Guess they don't figure the father and possibly male fetus into the equation.

Ironic, since women never seem to have an issue vocalizing their opinions when it comes to the matters concerning men.

Answer 15

I think it's because it affects woman's body and that's what people make priority. Mentally and emotionally it affects both the woman and the man involved but as far as physically, it's all about the woman. I personally think that it should be the woman's choice whether she wants to have an abortion, but i also think the man involved should be able to voice his opinion on the matter.

Answer 16

Because it should be the womans choice if they want an abortion, a man should NOT have any say in if she can or cannot

Answer 17

Simple:

Men cant have an abortion.

Answer 18

If a woman gets raped at a bus stop at midnight when waiting for the bus and finds out shes pregnant, should she be forced too keep this child if she doesn't want it? If a couple just has enough money too get by and accidentally gets pregnant should they be forced too keep it? No. Its 80% if not 100% a woman's right!

I also think Sharilyn is 100% right!

Answer 19

Because a male doesn't have to get fat for 9 months and have to push a kiwi-fruit through the eye of his p***s at the end of it :)

Answer 20

Women who get abortions view the child as their "property", not an independent human being. It is my humble opinion that abortion is only another excuse to continue using unsafe s*x practices and if you look at it from a spiritual point of view that was a human being's one chance at life stolen away.

Answer 21

abortion is a major issue which affects both. abortion is the legalized killing of the most innocent life there is, a baby. God bless our society, abortion is the first step in our destruction of our own human race.

Answer 22

first of all it's a woman's body...shouldn't' she be allowed to decide if she wants something growing inside her

second if you are asking why a man doesn't have a voice in abortion....well lets say a man gets a woman pregnant and picks up and leaves as soon as they find out.  what now?  Yeah he is obligated to pay child support but how many "men" out there skip out on child support.  That leaves the woman with all the burden of raising a child while the man runs around without a care in the world.  When the time comes when somehow a man is just as responsible for a child bearing and raising and there is no way in h**l he can possibly skip out of the child's life than i will change my position and say a man has a say but until than i believe firmly that it's a woman's choice in weather or not she wants to be pregnant.  

Answer 23

It IS a people issue, rather, an issue of humanity, the fact that humans are murdering innocent babies, male and females do the murdering.

So, you're right!
