Since
men can't reproduce, I'm a little
confused by your question. However,
since men do play a part in
reproduction, I can answer your
question to that extent. I think
that men should be as informed
as women should be about all
aspects of family planning--how
to prevent unwanted pregnancies
and how to go about having healthy
families. In terms of men having
a say in abortion...I do think
that more men need to be vocally
pro-choice. In terms of individual
choice within couples, that
is a case-by-case basis. It
is the woman's choice since
she is the one who would--if
she chose this- carry the pregnancy
to term, so I think that it
is she who likewise has the
primary say in whether or not
to carry it to full-term. In
any well-balanced couple, I'm
sure that men play a role in
this decision-making process.
However, some couples are at
an unequal place. For this reason,
I would maintain that it is
solely the women's choice. Hopefully,
her male partner will support
her in that decision. I hope
that helps, but please let me
know if you had a more specific
question in mind.
