There's a mounting body of evidence on how having or being denied an abortion affects pregnant people, including impacts on their mental health and the finances of them and their children. The effects on their male partners have received less attention.
In the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, experts say that no longer should be the case.
"It's really naïve to think that the repeal of Roe is only going to impact women and pregnant people," said Dr. Bethany Everett, a professor of sociology at the University of Utah.
While the issue disproportionately impacts people who can get pregnant, Dr. Everett says it's important to look at abortion access from all sides, as limits on abortion access likely will have broader implications for society as a whole. One in five men have been involved in an abortion, one study finds
Research on the impact of abortions on male partners has been limited, but that doesn't mean the issue isn't relevant to men.
Using existing data from the National Survey of Family Growth, a recent study estimates that one in five men have impregnated someone who's had an abortion. That's likely an undercount, according to Dr. Brian Nguyen, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Southern California, who helped oversee the project.
"Not all men are aware of the pregnancies they cause and those that end in abortion," said Dr. Nguyen. "For some men who may see abortion as a failure on their part to be a better partner or potential father, or for those whose social and cultural backgrounds have made them feel as if abortion is wrong, disclosing an abortion can be challenging or uncomfortable."

Agree 100%. And if the baby is adopted then both the biological father and biological mother pay child support to the foster parents (or orphanage). Only after the baby makers have skin in the game will the unwanted pregnancies go way down. Then there will be less “just a fetus”’es to argue what to do with.
“pregnant people” is in the first sentence. There is simply no reason to read a word past anything so foolish.
Lololo it is so funny to watch all of these people come to the realization that maybe, just maybe, God had some pretty good advice all along!
Abortion was not outlawed. The decision was returned to the states. Thea people are flippin idiots.
I would call the libs "shameless hypocrites," but that only scratches the surface.
“Red states need to pass laws that hold the sperm donor 50% financially responsible if the mother wishes to keep the child.”
But, but, but it was ‘her body her choice’. Why should the guy be responsible?/s
EC
Only fitting that a man be held responsible for his part in the creation of a new life.
They SHOULD hold men financially accountable.
My goodness - people will now actually have to be responsible for their decisions vs. murdering the inconvenient person? What a horrible attitude we should want to be encouraging as part of our culture? Personal responsibility? *GASP*
“Most guys are not having sex. Only the top 20% of men are really doing well in the sex department.”
C’mon man. In that department, i’m holding my own.
Yeah pickings are slim now days.
Yep. “Try the spirits.”
Feminism is a cancer on society. There are NO good feminists. None.
And yes - I have found more men who push for abortions in cases where there is a disagreement. There seems to be a myth among the lesbo feminist misandrists that there are a bunch of men saying “oh no - you can’t kill our child” - reality is usually the opposite.
Where did that stat come from? Source please.
The jokes I could write right now, OMG. Talk about leaving yourself wide open! ROFL!
Men are so very much affected by abortion that the liberal courts had all held that they had absolutely no say in whether or not a woman got an abortion — even if they were married to her.
Interesting comment. Takes two to create a child. but only one to kill it....
The guy may say I’ll take it if you don’t want it.
This all comes down to the “ my body, my choice” and avoids the question of if you don’t want to affect your body, then practice safe sex.
After all there was the big push to free up pills years ago, so whats next....
Don’t want to pay? Don’t Play. Keep it in your pants, it’s meant for someone speacial. ~ one of many quotes from my father.
that WAS the joke.
c’mon man.
Sally Sorority and Frankie Fraternity hook up by mutual consent and she gets pregnant.
Please state the respective percentages of Sallys and Frankies whom you believe would welcome or reject parenthood in that common situation and the basis for your belief.
Nope. That wont happen. Feminism is hell bent on producing thots, because you know, its “empowering”. So they will just continue to sloot it up and use their companies new policy to take care of last weekends fling.
