Abortion Part 1

I hate to say it right off the bat like this but I have a penis between my legs. Which in the abortion 'debate' is really important. Because I am male I cannot, no matter how hard I try, get pregnant. Meaning that I am in no way affected by the abortion debate. After all I am already born. Yes, I can get a woman pregnant however my addition is only so genetic information my body brews up by the thousands. Furthermore, I am person fully capably of loving another child even an unborn one. 

I cannot overlook the simple fact that it is not my body at risk nor is it my body that bears the joys and horrors of carrying a budding potential human around in them for under a year. All men are like me in this regard. In baby making men are nothing more than spectators. Our part in the creation of human life is short and sometimes fun for both parties involved. However, when it comes down to it the creation of life can be done with a turkey baster and some well kept semen. The truth is other an semen men are not needed much for a child to be born. Many children have and will be born by methods crudely named 'test tube'.

Point is that creation human life still needs semen but it really needs a woman to work.

So when it comes to abortion I have to bear in mind my biological place. Yes abortion can touch a man's life. Not in any direct bodily way. The only way a male is affected is by not having a  potential biological child. Granted this can have a deep psychological impact on a man. However it should never be forgotten that pregnancy always directly affects the life and body of a woman. Even if that woman has an abortion her body is still changed. A man can leave a pregnant woman. He can leave behind any and all responsibility for his part. But a woman cannot just walk away from being pregnant. To just walk away in the same way that a man can is not possible for a woman. Her body is altered her life changed.

Simply put a man can never know what it is like be pregnant nor can we understand what an Abortion means to a woman.

Because of these simple biological truths I have always thought that men have little to no place in the  abortion debate. As men we risk little to nothing if Abortion ends up legal or illegal. We can flee from our responsibilities rather easily. Sure we made end up having to pay child support but that is just money. It is not our bodies on the line in any way.

So male politicians against abortion, sorry but yeah shut up. There is little to no place for men in this issue. We cannot get abortions so saying your against something that has no role in your life. Even someone like me that is for legal abortions I only show my support knowing that I risk nothing. I do it only because we all have to get over ourselves.

Abortion is not debate it is not something that should be democratically handled. A person has the right to their own body and right to make their choices for it. The body is the dictatorship of the person. It is not up for vote or political debate. It for the person and the person only to do what they think is best. We can judge but we do not have to live with the choice.

Part 2 coming soon

I may just join the two posts together once I get it done. Just bear with me.
