I had a discussion with a close male friend this week who says he is pro-choice - to a degree. He went on for sometime sharing his perspectives on abortion with me personally. While he was speaking I realized something - unless he is the father of the fetus, what he says really doesn't matter because he's a guy. It really gets me steamed when a guy sits in judgment of a girl who had an abortion.

I simply don't see the way the person can speak to this problem.

Why should guys need to set any type of position at all on a topic that is clearly female by nature? I know many are already currently cowering away from this article in fear of hell fire. Think about it though, there are several reason why guys shouldn't really have a say in what girls do with their bodies. Congratulations Sir, You're Pregnant. For example, guys have never had to face the decision of whether they need to permit a child to grow inside them. They have never been in the position of reconciling the gift of life with the invasion of existence.

In fact, a guy can simply impregnate a female and walk out, and that's exactly what many have done. If a person can have the right to select whether he wants the responsibility of fatherhood, should not the girl have the same decision concerning motherhood? . Guys have never been in the position of using a foreign object increasing in their bodies and being told it might be immoral to desire this object removed. Men cannot relate to the feeling personal invasion brought about with an unwanted pregnancy or the fears of being a single mother. The woman's body has been used as a vessel for lifetime, but it needs to be each girl's decision as to whether she wants to be a vessel at the point in her life.

Guys, It's Time To Be A Daddy. It all too ironic that while girls have been home raising the children, guys have been in politics making laws concerning girls and their bodies. Guys have used their power in politics and religion to control and dominate women by telling us what they think we can morally do with our own bodies. Picture the arrogance! That any man believes he has any place at all tell me what is legal for me to do with my own body! This is the reason why there needs to be more girls legislators and religious leaders.

I don't see guys rushing to change expectations for responsibility concerning child rearing. I don't see them demanding the right to be more responsible fathers or to play a more integral part in their children's lives. In fact, when did then they might be entitled to more state in the abortion issue. But why if they want things to change? They've got it made in the shade. If things changed, they'd need to pull their own weight, give up some of their own career pursuits, and go home at a decent hour to the child.

In short, when guys start choosing to be fathers, that is when they will have the right to pipe in on whether girls can opt to be mothers. Until then guys, your opinion just doesn't matter.
