That's a disingenuous thing to say, a man has just as much stake in the child as the women. Considering how strongly an unwanted child affects a man I'd say it's affects both sexes equally.

This is getting off topic, I was just pointing out to Proggy why it's bleedingly obvious that abortion would be a feminist issue, because it touches strongly on the feminist agenda. That doesn't mean they own the topic.
They sure as hell act like it.
