If men were the ones that had babies and all other things were the same...?

If everything else in the world, including current attitudes and opinions towards men and women could remain exactly the same except for the fact that men were the ones that had babies instead of women then....

Do you think abortions would still be legal in the USA? Even if it was against the wishes of the mother or without telling the mother?

    If men had babies, all other things could not possibly be the same.

    Unless you mean "If men had babies, AND were expected to be the primary carers of the babies, AND were expected to give up their careers, JUST for someone else's legacy."... I which case, yes, I do believe abortions would still be legal. Because then, men could truly comprehend what the consequences of having a baby means for the ones having the baby.

    If men had babies, then men would stay home and raise their kids. They'd pussyfoot around some in the community, but most of their life would be around family. Men would oppose abortion, because their life is solely around giving birth. No different then normal women today.

    Seeing how many men eagerly shirk responsibility toward their children by refusing to pay child support I'm inclined to say yes, there are enough irresponsible whiners among the male population that abortion would still be a problem.

    As the old saying goes...... "If men had babies, Abortion would be a sacrament". But since men bear no pain or responsibility of children, then they can make up endless moronic rules about it.

    You're turning it into a gender issue, when it's mostly theists who are pro-life.

    If men were 'mother's', then perhaps there would be no more 'human race'!

    There would be drive up abortion clinics, most likely.
