I support abortion from a legal and constitutional stand point and not a moral personal one. What I mean by that is, while I personally could never have an abortion, I do not support the idea that the government should have any say so in whether or not I do decide to have a baby or not.
But, for sake of argument, let's say I'm expecting. It takes two to make a baby and it should take two to raise one, so I think the father should have a say so in the process. This is interesting. Something like this happened to some kids I went to high school with. A girl got pregnant and wanted an abortion right away. The guy who got her pregnant said absolutely not. He said that if she didn't want the baby, then he would find a way to pay for her care and then take the baby and raise it himself. Our school was ripped down the middle. People on both sides argued the law and a woman's right to her own body, but no one brought up the moral and personal choices of both involved.
I had so much sympathy for this guy. He was going to do the right thing and stick by his unborn child. In the end, they did reach some kind of agreement. However, legally speaking, she could have had an abortion and there would have been nothing he could do about it. Like I said, it takes two to make a baby, so it's only fair that both parties involved get a say so.
Abstinence is wonderful.
