Eight dads share how abortion shaped their lives Dads aren’t often asked about abortion, so for Father’s Day, we asked. Here’s what some of them said about their personal experiences. (BARF)

Eight dads are sharing how abortion has helped them become the fathers they are today, on what experts believe will likely be the last Father's Day before the Supreme Court issues a ruling that would overturn Roe v Wade.

In May, a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion on the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban indicated the Court is poised to overturn Roe v Wade, the 1971 Supreme Court decision that established the constitutional right to abortion care.

The draft is not a formal decision and the court has not ruled on the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban. Abortion is still legal in all 50 states.

Most pregnant people who have abortions already have at least one child, according to CDC data.

And while 85% of people who have abortions are not married, according to data from the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion research organization, nearly half had been in a relationship for a year or more with the person who impregnated them.

Before Father's Day, TODAY Parents spoke to eight dads who responded to a call-out on social media asking fathers to share how abortion shaped their lives. The men were given permission from their current partners to disclose their abortions and other personal medical information. Their last names have been withheld to protect their families’ privacy, and their comments have been edited for brevity and clarity.

Yes thats true ...

John Hagee has a new commercial where he expounds that the female makes an agonizing decision but that rarely happens

Usually shes already made up her mind ahead of time that if she gets pregnant she will contract to kill her child ...

Abortion is used as a contraceptive device ...

Sort of like the SS handing out good conduct medals at Auschwitz.

“I had to kill my children to save my family “. If this were said in a novel, it would be to reveal a sick and twisted soul.

My husband’s ex shrew had an abortion to abort his child and didn’t tell him about it. This was before they had their first child. It haunts him to this day.

These murderers are very fortunate that they had real fathers, who didn’t kill them in the womb.

Wanna hear my Dad abortion story?

My wife was having an affair and became pregnant with my child, all unbeknownst to me. We already had a 1 year-old son. She secretly went and had the baby aborted because she didn’t want it to impact her cheating.

This all came out during the divorce. I hate her and I have no idea what I’m going to tell my son when he asks me why he never had a brother or sister.

How does it make you a better father to deliberately and savagely murder the brothers and sisters of the children you allowed to live? Were those massacred innocents also not worthy of life and of your love?

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner... in the “barf alert” category. Indeed, of all the “barf alert” posts I’ve ever seen in 20+ years on this site, this one might be the barf-iest. Absolutely disgusting propaganda piece featuring a bunch of selfish, degenerate bastards proud that their children were murdered so that “dad” could “live his life.” Yuck.

If they don’t want an unwanted pregnancy then take contraception. How hard is that?

That’s a tragic and appalling. But at least your son has one good parent. Prayers for him and you. There’s a movie called “Nocturnal Animals” that has a plot line similar to your life (and it got blowback from the pro-abortion crowd, shocked that popular actors like Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams would appear in an arguably anti-abortion film).

Plenty of guys love abortion because it allows them to have unprotected sex and then shrug off the consequences by just telling her to kill the baby.

I don’t doubt these are true stories. All the Democrats I know talk like this - referring to the killing of a fetus as a healthcare procedure.

Deep down, I think they know it’s a lie - but after already making that choice, the truth is too horrible for them to to contemplate, so you can’t have an honest conversation with them.

The males ( cannot call them MEN, because ‘men’ has a whole connotation of strength and protection,)

You don't understand: It would be transphobic to call them men!

From the article (with my emendations):

Most pregnant people women who have abortions already have at least one child, according to CDC data. And while 85% of people women who have abortions are not married, according to data from the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion research organization, nearly half had been in a relationship for a year or more with the person man who impregnated them.

A casual partner of mine had an abortion.

That was about as far as I could get. Barf, indeed. As if people can't keep their pants on and if they can't then use protection. Simple concept. Otherwise, they are murderers.
