In 1973, Roe v. Wade made it constitutionally unacceptable to not allow women to have the right to abortions, causing a sexual revolution. Today, over 300,000 unborn children are aborted every year, and the numbers are rising. A good majority of males take the side of "Pro-Lifers", or individuals who believe abortion should be illegal. Their reasoning could be because of religious backing, personal trauma from a loved one or significant other going through an abortion, or solely because they recognize the life that is being lost.

Here is my argument; when we are talking about abortion, it is absolutely 100% the women's body that is being discussed. Even though the child is within the mother and it has a life of it's own, the mother in this society should be the one t make the decision. The question is whether we see her acting upon her right as a morally correct thing or not. Men have no right to discuss abortion solely because they provide absolutely nothing during the pregnancy or the actual birth.

You may argue that because men provide the sperm, they have a say, but the actual truth lies within the fact that after men ejaculate, they don't necessarily worry about the child except for it's safety until birth of course. This is not to deter the idea that men are useless, but they aren't placing as much effort as a mother is.

What we men are supposed to recognize is that throughout history there has been the issue of being a human and being a person. If you look at the American government system, humans are simply humans, but people are humans with rights. When you are born and freed from the connection of your mother, you become a person while still remaining human. Because the child is attached to the mother, it is why the mother can make the decision of killing it.

But, our country has had a history by not representing individuals in need of rights. Before the 1920's, women were seen as "less" than men and were held down in societies for hundreds if not thousands of years within this world. Minorities were seen to hold no rights as well and were placed low within society itself. For the child, this is a human in need of rights, but is unable to since all of it is being placed upon the mother. Therefore, it's not the abortion we should be focusing on, but rather the fact it is in fact a life, so instead of pushing to end abortion, I push to give these children the same rights we possess; the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

What about you? Do you agree, or is there an aspect of this situation that you believe is utterly incorrect?
I apologize for everything
