"Ahead of Father’s Day this Sunday, the pro-life organization “Save the Storks” is embarking on a powerful new video campaign, giving post-abortive men a chance to share their heartbreaking stories of how the procedure changed their lives permanently.
six-part #ChooseFatherhood social video series features four courageous men who are breaking their silence about their deeply personal abortion stories. Over 55 million men have experienced the pain, grief, heartache and guilt of abortion. Now, they are speaking out."
They were not fathers and “babies” were not aborted. Fetuses were. End of story.
Not to disagree, but when is it a person exactly?
In a sense, all humans are just complex masses of cells. But at some point we reach cognition and gain the ability to feel.
Basically, if it's just two or 3 cells, is it anything other than a biomass? Or is the idea of it being a person based mostly on emotion.
And yes, I do feel somewhat strong about it. BUT there are circumstances where abortion might be the right choice given that the kid could have a potentially crappy existence, or the baby can potentially cause harm to the mother if born, or the mother was a rape victim.
Not to mention consciousness and personalities are built by chemicals and experiences.

Abortion hurts more than just women.
Almost all the men got their girlfriends pregnant and many admit that they wanted the girls to get abortions. They were young and stupid but I feel no pity for them. Keep it in your pants and you won't have regrets later.
People need to take responsibility - I'm not against abortion in cases of rape, the mother's health or if the baby would require care due to conditions wherein it would always be in pain and not enjoy life. I'd rather see a baby aborted than being thrown away in a garbage can or being abused and mistreated.

The Abortion Laws in the UK are stricter than in some countries with 80% wthin the first 10 weeks, 92% of abortions are carried out in the first 13 weeks and only 8% at 13 weeks or more, whilst only 0.1% are carried out at the 24 or more week limit, which exists in order to abort where there is a threat to the mothers life or the baby's health. In Northern Ireland abortion is still ilegal, however the rest of Ireland has recently voted in favour of new Abortion legislation.
You have to have the consent of at least two doctors in England & Wales and there are a number of stipulations.
Maybe "dad" should have picked a better woman or not had sex until he was sure that they were on the same page regarding pregnancy. That's what I hear about women in the abortion debate.
