My argument is about giving men the same ability to terminate their parental rights legally during the first few trimesters.
I don't expect most people to agree with my opinion, since many people (including judges) can't remove their own personal feelings from the idea of creating real equality. It's the same reason why many victimless crimes are illegal.

I am pro-choice, and I do agree with your position. Women do indeed have the right to make whatever choice they want with regard to their own bodies. Men also have that same right.
What women do not have is the right to make someone else financially responsible for the decisions they make. Choices come with consequences. The consequence of choosing not to have an abortion is at least 18 years of financial support for that child. Men should have the choice whether or not they will be held financial responsible.
If a woman has the right to choose not to have an abortion, then the man should have the right to choose not to be financially responsible.
