For The Ladies.

I am not allowed to say that abortion is good or bad. I'm a man; I don't have a uterus, so I really have no right.

The same goes for any government institution. Authority has gone too far the second that it decides what a person is allowed to do with their body. I am a strong believer in personal freedom, and therefore I feel that the decision should lie between a woman and her doctor. Of course, the right to have an abortion implies that any doctor has the right to decline performing one. The decision should fall on the judgement of the parties involved.

I would suppose the father would have some sort of say in this, but again, he's not doing the birthing, so I'm not sure that's entirely fair.

There's a bit of a moral hangup in defining just when a child is alive, at least human enough to make an abortion murder. This may be the most nebulous moral issue of our times. I would like to submit the viewpoint that until the umbilical cord is severed, the child is technically still a part of the mother, and therefore she has full control over what happens to it. It sounds callous, but it's the only perspective that makes sense to me. Since the child is still symbiotically attached to the mother, the mother should have reign.
