I apologize if I do a double post but the one I just did did not show up.

I read the entire thread and want to comment on an observation I made.

First let me say that over my lifetime I have been on both sides of the abortion issue. When I was much younger I felt very strongly in favor of abortions but as I aged I became opposed to them as a means of birth control.

My observation. I found it very interesting to note that nowhere in this thread did I see any comments about the male who did the impregnating having a voice in the decision to abort. I know there will be instances where he won't be able to be found but I don't think that will be the majority of the cases. I'm wondering why this aspect has been ignored.
