That's what you're suggesting.
Of course not....unless the vote is for or against abortion before the date at which a fetus can survive outside the mother. That is a decision that only affects women. If I were an anti-abortion man, I would be actively working with men to encourage abstinence outside of marriage.

Do you feel women should be allowed to vote on issues that only affect men? (BTW, abortion does not only affect women nor is there any other issue that affects only women or only men; every single issue affects both)

Also, married women have abortions too and abstinence is unrealistic.

In case you recall, we were talking about voting for politicians rather than for voting on issues themsleves so this is moot. We all have the right to vote for any candidate based on their stances on whatever issue(s) we choose. Yes, that includes abortion. And, yes, men have the same right in this case. Get over it or establish your own country where women are in control and men have no rights...you'd love that I'm sure. In this country, both men AND women are valued and equal.

Supporting legalized murder or supporting laws that take away anyone's rights to make decisions for their bodies will always cause the other side to get worked up.

Though I am pro-life, I hope you can appreciate that I understand both sides.
I do appreciate it. Thanks afo!

Gee, because you're liberal, you're going to abort?

I guess because you're republican, you're going to be a draft dodging, woman-hating, right to life until birther whose kids will get pregnant, you'll disown them and hope they & their kids starve or better yet, go to jail.

Sounds like something from the 50's.

It happens, not often, but it happens and I am 100% for it.

I would take all of these things over being a murderer. Too bad your moral compass is broken and can't discern that.

If it bothers you so much, don't do it.
No one is forcing you to do anything.
They're asking you to mind your own business.

No, you have NO understanding of women and the choices they have to make ....you just want them controlled and punished (hatred/fear of women).

If you ever could understand ANYTHING you'd know that everyone is PRO-Life.

If you're only going to continue a shouting match and making false assumptions about me when you don't know me at all, there is no point in us responding to one another's posts.

I don't want women controlled and punished. 50% of women are pro-life (my definition of pro-life) as well - consider that.
