I think we’re arguing past each other. I’m not trying to fixate on either gender....I blame both.

Yes, she makes the final determination to have an abortion. So if you want to blame her more, go ahead.

I am positing that men should be less passive in the situation and not ever let it get to that point.

The sad fact is...is that a child is dead and both parents have to live with that for the rest of their lives (assuming the man knows).

While I agree with you completely with regard to the moral equation, I have become convinced it is the passivity of women that prevents any real inroads on legalized abortion.

Sure, you have female activists on both sides, but the one thing they agree on is keeping men on the hook no matter what the woman’s reproductive decision.

Make women stand alone for whatever reproductive choice they make, and those legs will snap shut as reliably as they have throughout history. It’s simple, unequivocal, self-interest.

THAT is the ONLY way abortion can be stopped.
