Is abortion a man's right as well as a woman's?
I recently heard a group of males discussing why they were for total and complete abortion rights. They said that banning and restricting abortion violated men's rights. Their reason for this belief is that men see the risk of pregnancy as something that stops men having sex with women whenever they want it.
Since women were made for men to have sex with, if you don't allow women to have an abortion then you are making the man fearful that he might get stuck paying child support if the woman gets pregnant and that violates a man's sexual freedom. Abortion on demand is necessary so that men can have sex with women on demand.
This was their mentality and argument. So could lack of access to abortion be considered a violation of men's sexual freedom?

Abortion is the only "right" that one human has to kill another human. It's neither a man's right nor a woman's right to commit homicide. If people don't want to risk pregnancy, don't have sex.

Yes, indeed. Sometimes, woman have their own issues to have pregnancy or not as their wishes... But to know that, the sperms that come from man can only made woman get pregnancy during a normal ovulation inside woman's womb... The sperms is own by the man... They have their own right whether wants to woman get pregnancy or not... If and only if, pregnancy only be happened without the man's sperms... Then the total rights only goes to the woman's choice as their wishes... Becareful before having sex... Think twice...

If a man ends up pregnant (I don't care how), he is fully within his rights to get an abortion. No court of law in any civilized country would be able to stop him.
Look it up if you don't believe me.

No. Pregnancy, reproducing, child rearing, raising a young child, giving birth, permanent changes to the body, child's health are all related to the woman. If she says that she doesn't want the kid, that's that. The choice should be hers and hers alone. Forcing pregnancy on a woman and forcing anyone to have kids is the breachment of many of their basic rights. HER body, HER life, HER kid, HER health, HER nine month of pain + 15 more years of a kid glued to her, HER decision, HER choice. Period! Fathers are literally to provide the sperm if needed and then be the help and assistant of the mother not acting like he's the mother!!! Plus if a man is forcing pregnancy he does not care the least bit about the woman which means he should not have anything to do with her. If a girl I was with wanted herself to become pregnant in all honesty I'd try my best to desuade her because any child being born is a massive life and health risk to the mother and would offer suggestions that might still get us a child but without her life being put in danger. I would never want any risks to befall on the woman I love even if she was alright with that let alone me forcing something as major as having a kid and giving birth to a kid on her! Abortion is any woman's basic right regardless of whether the society where she lives in is just enough to legally reinforce that or bans it. Facts still stay the same.

The Biblical view on abortion is that only men have the right to decide whether a woman has an abortion or not. This is obviously wrong. And obviously we weren't made for men to have sex with. So no, a man doesn't have a right to force a woman to violate her body in that way. We need to live in a post-scarcity society where child support is not an issue because it's universally provided, and that can be achieved by defeating patriarchy.

A person's right to their body is their own. You dont really get a say in whether or not someone stays pregnant.
Its this thing called 'bodily autonomy'. Basically, the legal rights you have over your body. This is your right to consent to sex, medical treatments, etc. (These rights are rly only YOURS when youre a legal adult)
Bodily autonomy is still respected after your death. If you decide, in life, that you dont want to donate organs, no one can legally take the organs out of your corpse. Even if someone is dying and needs an organ, they cant take the one youre not even using anymore.
Bodily autonomy also isnt legally affected by other people's situations when youre alive. If my mom got in a car accident, and for some reason, i was the only one who could give her blood, I have the legal right to say 'no'. Of course I would say yes, im not THAT terrible, but I would have *the ability* to say no to that.
What I'm getting at is no one is obligated to use their body to preserve another body, whether someone says they should or not. If a fetus is alive (which, ill be honest, i dont about care right now, thats not hte point here) you should not force someone to carry that fetus, or deal with all kinds of pain and complications. You cant force me to go through a quick blood draw, you cant force a dead man to give up his organs, so why force someone to go through 9 months of carrying a baby?
No one gets abortions for fun (even if some weirdo out there did, that doesnt mean we should illegalize it to ruin everyone else's lives). Late term abortions are only done if the birth will kill the one giving birth, and/or the baby is most definitely not gonna make it. Plus late-term abortions make up less than 2% of abortions.[ http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/la... ]** But to actually answer your question, this goes the other way too. **No one's body is meant for you. No one has to get an abortion just because youre misogynist who cries about how Martha took the kids and the house. Go take a shower to scrub the d*ck cheese out and find a damn therapist.[ https://www.goodtherapy.org/find-therapist.html ]

Oh stfu you piece of shiit, women were not made for you men you old fashioned scumbag Neanderthal. It’s our body! Our choice! If abortion didn’t exist many inbreds like you would have been born from incest or rape. So it’s a good thing that abortion does exist. And there is nothing you can do to stop it, just accept it. Period.

Abortion on demand is not a rights issue in the first place. Abortion on demand is an issue born of out of selfishness that men and women wanted the state to respect in order for them to get out of responsibility.
It is however true that if women are unable to abort whenever they please that they will sleep around less and thus limit access to sex for men. Does that make abortion on demand a rights issue for men? No, it just means that men have more interest in abortion on demand then simply getting out of child support.
