Arguing men shouldnt have a right to an opinion on abortion because they can only be the victim of abortion and never the executor is like arguing women shouldnt have an opinion on rape because they are typically the victim and not the executor.

We all started our lives as fetuses and would have been effected by abortion laws, and as such we all should have a right to an opinion on the matter.

@freemo Of course everyone has a right to their opinion on any subject.

But it does seem clear that while men are not unaffected, women *are* disproportionately affected and their voices should therefore hold more weight on the subject.

And the inverse holds true as well. Men's voices carry more weight when it comes to men's issues, such as the legality and ease of access to Viagra.

@louis @freemo I feel like the baby is more affected by abortion than the woman and should probably be given a say as well.

@brimshae @freemo Why stop there? Let's give individual sperms and eggs a say too.

@louis @freemo Challenge unlocked: Tell me you're upset at what I said without saying you're upset at what I said.

@brimshae @freemo Lol, what? I extended your own logic to point out its absurd conclusions. Whatever undertone of malice or frustration you think you read were entirely in your head.

Try reading my toots as intended: detached, emotionless, and vaguely condescending; like a has-been Shakespearean actor who's now recording audiobooks for printer manuals.
