Abortion, i.e. the intentional murder of one's own child, is an abominable practice for which the world should be ashamed. It is so abominable, in fact, that it cannot be defended rationally. Over the decades, the deceptively named pro-"choice" lobby has defended its position through many dishonest tactics. Chief among these is identity politics. Abortion, they say, is a woman's right, and men should have no right to an opinion. Men who do have, and especially voice, opinions on abortion, are misogynists. I've never understood this logic, however. Abortion is certainly an issue that affects women more than men, but it is actually more misogynistic than the pro-life cause.
In our culture, sex is an idol. We constantly seek out sexual pleasure, and get quite cross when that goal is impeded. We especially see this in the U.S., as the potential for Roe v. Wade to soon be overturned is resulting in a Left wing meltdown. Part of that tantrum? Left wing girls are swearing an end to hookup culture.
As a Christian man, my personal thought is woohoo. You're telling me abortion may soon end and less children will be produced from reckless sex? I pray this happens. Of course, overturning Roe v. Wade won't actually do that, but it would be awesome if that was the future we're heading towards. The problem is, however, not every man is a Christian. Even those who are struggle with sin and temptation as much as any other man.
With that being said, what are men more likely to personally want? A lifelong commitment to one wife, along with any children produced by the natural result of the marital act, or simple pleasure with an easy out? Obviously, the answer is the easy out. We always want the pleasure, we don't always want the commitment. So although it is pure evil, it makes sense that men would be biased towards it, whereas it makes no sense, save for that one spark of God's image within us, that we would be biased against it.
Therefore, it is actually the pro-abortion movement that is misogynistic. Setting aside the fact that sex-selected abortion almost universally aborts girls, ignoring the incredible damage and other health risks abortion poses to the mother, abortion makes it so much easier for men to see women as objects of sexual pleasure rather than precious human beings made in the image of God. The abomination of abortion should be ended today, but not because I, as a man, am somehow misogynistic. It's because at the end of the day, a successful abortion ends a precious and innocent human life. In every other situation, we'd call that murder.
