I think you are missing some key points on that. First off men generally have no binding association to a baby.. back in the 60's and 70's there certainly wasn't any DNA evidence to keep people bound.. even often times child support is a joke that is half enforced. Abortion may be a quick fix for some men but I think that more men may be inclined to think of abortion as acceptable because most men(liberal or not) would often say "it's not my body it's not my choice" so they in fact defer to women to make the choice whether it should be legal or not.

Polling results demonstrate that support for Roe v Wade is greater among men than women. If any men support abortion because they are 'deferring' to women's judgement, they have been tricked by the media into not knowing what women's judgement actually is.

Objections to abortion have very little to do with religion when you get right down to it. Atheist writer Nat Hentoff has been anti-abortion for years, because he realizes the simple biological fact that *humans beget humans.*
A person can't conceive anything else but a human being, even if that human being produced has a body consisting of only one cell. When the nucleus of the sperm cell fuses with the nucleus of the egg cell, you have a *new person.*
Brain function or sentience or appearance have nothing to do with it. People can only come from people.
