Wibble i don't want go stretch this discussion any longer so this will be my last post arguing about it but I don't find your argument about man not being able to have their opinions on the matter very compelling, first of it it reminds me a lot about the arguments against female suffrage( how could woman involve themselves in manly things such as war and politics hur dur , you get my point).
Secondly you set a precedent that only works if you're already pro choice(a woman's body her choice) something which is simply refuted by the opposing side(the woman can't take the choice to terminate the life of the unborn as his/her right to live trumps the mothers right to choose)
Finally the statistics show that there really isn't a meaningful difference among man and woman regarding attitudes toward abortion (in fact the first poll i found on the subject on pew shows it to be pretty even in those regards).
There are many compelling arguments in favor of abortion that I a fervent anti abortionist can acknowledge, this isn't one its counterproductive and simply leads to more toxicity by trying to gather guard the subject.
That's all.
The phoney high road, you gotta love it!
