Survey: Men’s views on women’s abortion

　　Are you pro-abortion? Have you ever impregnated a woman so that she later had an abortion? Most of the replies male Showing contradictory and complex emotions:

　　“I do not support widespread abortion, but I do believe that it should be done if absolutely necessary. I don't believe the law can decide this matter. This should be discussed between the client, her doctor, and her conservator. Early in my life, I prepared to help a young friend who was in trouble, but the problem was not of my making. Another young friend became pregnant, but the gangster abandoned her instead of marrying her, and she committed suicide. It saddened me for 50 years because I didn't know it until after it happened. Someone should help her. ”

　　“I don't think abortion should be illegal, but I'm not sure I'm entirely in favor of it, especially when there are many contraceptive devices available to both parties. ”

　　“I've had two partners have abortions in the past 10 years. This was the best choice at the time, and it was a decision made after careful consideration by both parties. I am a strong advocate and supporter of abortion and reproductive rights, and have also participated in protest marches, etc. However, how I wish these two abortions could be avoided. ”

　　“I once helped one girl have an abortion, and another girl had an abortion because of me. I am pro-choice and terminating a pregnancy is so much better than having an unwanted baby. I also think the logic of anti-abortion groups is unquestionable: killing an embryo is killing a human being. To me, abortion or not is an oxymoron. ”

　　“I personally do not support abortion, and I will try to persuade my partner to try other options. However, I know that on this issue, after all, laws cannot be used to regulate morality, so I support freedom of choice. I oppose the use of abortion to control birth control. I think it is too drastic a method and should only be used when there is no other way. People should use contraceptive devices correctly. ”

　　 Some men are completely against abortion:

　　“I liken abortion to economic exchange. I can understand their practical benefits, however to me both are aesthetically and morally deplorable. A more reasonable solution is to let some couples with good family environment and financial well-off adopt them. Child , unless the biological mother is willing to take care of him. The exchange conditions include that the other party pays the production costs, plus some compensation to compensate for the mother's hard work. This not only protects the rights of the embryos, but also brings great relief to the parties concerned. ”

　　“When I was 16 I got my girlfriend pregnant and I took her to the doctor to have it confirmed. We then told her father, who arranged the abortion. I offered to pay for it and told my parents, but they refused. I really didn't want her to have an abortion, but there was nothing I could do at the time. I was young and stupid and I wasn't going to let this happen again. I would only support abortion if there is a serious threat to the mother's life and all other medical options have been tried. ”

　　 A few men fully support a woman's right to have an abortion:

　　“I'm pro-abortion. Everyone makes mistakes, and you shouldn’t compound the problem. ”

　　“I'm pro-abortion. Women should be in control of their own bodies. But in a marriage, I think the husband should have the right to express his opinion. ”

　　“I am absolutely pro-life. Under the legal restrictions in the past, I often helped women secretly obtain abortions using their identities. ”

　　“This is a personal decision. It shouldn't be illegal in any way. ”

　　“I believe abortion should be legal, safe and clean. It was her decision whether to have an abortion or not. However, I want to have a voice in the decision-making process and would be angry if I was completely ignored or ignored. ”

　　“I'm pro-abortion. 17 years ago, I helped a girl I lived with to have an abortion. At that time, we didn’t dare to publicize it. She was pregnant with another man's child and didn't tell me until two weeks after our relationship. I borrowed money, found a suitable doctor, took her to the doctor, and stayed with her afterwards. She was afraid of infection, even though doctors had given her penicillin. I used my extra money that summer to repay a friend $300 (a large sum at the time). ”
