What would a man say if he was left with the choice of an unplanned pregnancy. To have a child for some is a blessing, but it still should be a choice. The argument stems that life begins upon the moment of conceptions, but can that being think for itself. How does a mass of cells signify as a person. A woman should be allowed a choice. Her body, her choice. Should a woman who is raped be forced to carry the child of her rapist? What about a teenager? Should a child be forced to have a child?

Her body- Her choice.
How many men would oppose abortion I wonder if in fact they had to expierance first hand an unwanted pregnancy? I find it amazing that those who oppose abortion are of the higher income bracket. They can afford to support a family but what of those who cannot and wish to survive an every day life? Those who just feeding themselves is survival? How many who oppose abortion would feel the same if the security of their homes and bank accounts were ripped away and they had to live off the system and wonder each day how they would make it and if they could feed the child that they had no choice but to bring into this world.
