I'm personally of the belief that abortion should be legal. Absolutely.
I'm also of the opinion that it's, by and large, a morally despicable act.
I am also using it as a last line of defense should my girlfriend get pregnant.
Full of contradictions, aren't I?
On the subject of men having a say, I absolutely agree with Martian's stance: I think men are way too marginalized in the decision making process.
When it comes down to the man insisting on the child being born, and the woman being adamantly opposed to it...I don't have a solution. It's a lose-lose situation, where either way you're, in my opinion, violating the rights of at least one human being. That being said, I do think it more the crime to force the woman to have the abortion than to force the man to watch his child die. So I kind of agree with what mixedmedia said. Not that the man needs help but...that I think the woman has more of an investment in the decision.
It's a difficult subject, with no 'nice' answer.
