"The sentiments are his views to which he is unfortunately entitled but neither he nor any man has the right to dictate to women on that subject."

Could I just put a word in for the men here.

When it's a personal thing for men, that is, *their* baby too, I think they do have a right to an opinion, actually. Ultimately, the woman is the one who decides, but to say that men have no right to an opinion whatsoever on this subject is crap.

No-one has the right to 'dictate' to men what they can and can't have opinions about, and as a woman, I can say that, on their behalf, whereas they'd get their heads bitten off for it.

We are one species, not two different ones, and ALL of us have a right to our opinions, in my view, at least.

And hey, spare a thought for some men who actually have to stand by, perhaps desperate to have a child, and watch whilst that is taken away from them.

There are so often two sides to abortion...three actually, because of course, there is also the 'innocent soul' as well.
