Its not supposed to be a choice, that's why it causes so much trauma.
In order to go through with an abortion, you must first allow society to convince you that it is okay.
My sister used to have the most irresistible personality you would ever have met. 2 abortions later and now my once vibrant sister eats enough pain pills to kill a horse on a daily basis.

Yeah because the guilt over the abortions couldn't possibly be the cause of her drug use right?

Abortion involves 2 bodies, not just one. A fetus isn't part of a woman's body, it has it's own body.
And yes to your assertion. I also come here to make cops feel guilty about beating innocent civilians to death, and to make capitalists feel guilty about enslaving entire nations, plus a lot of other things. Do you not do the same?

why does the biological father have zero input in desciscions , but has no opt out from obligations
Zero input? You mean, he was prohibited from wearing a condom? Was he prohibited from getting a vasectomy? Was he prohibited from abstaining? What do you mean he has "zero input in decisions"?

Your right the foetus isn't part of a women's body .... However ....
To be precise abortion involves only 1 body and a structure of developing
cells which are not viable to exist on their own.

Wait. How come the man's time for input is before pregnancy occurs but we never think of the woman's input that way?
Shouldn't both the man and woman be making the responsible choices about whether or not they want to get pregnant before there is a third being in the equation?

So now you even refuse to give a fetus "body" status. Lol
body [ bod-ee ]
noun [plural bod·ies.] 1. the physical structure and material substance of an animal or plant, living or dead. 2. a corpse; carcass. 3. the trunk or main mass of a thing: the body of a tree.
It sure sounds like 2 bodies are involved to me.
Its funny, you say it is not ok for men to walk away from an unwanted child....

I'm going to make this one really simple to avoid people who like to veer off topic.
Simple question:
Why is it OK for women to have the right to walk away from the responsibility of a child
But it is not OK for a man to have the right to walk away from the responsibility of a child?
Anyone have a logical and non-hypocritical answer?
In the United States, 80.6% of single parents are mothers.

A foetus is not a child. And unless you have been raped I don't think
you are qualified to pass a judgement .... ASK A RAPE VICTIM.
