Reply #25: And infertile women... they should STFU too!

The issue has nothing to do with them, so they can keep their mouths shut as well. Grrr!!! :eyes:

I'm a pro choice male, so it's not like I've got a lot of patience for anti-choice men, or anti-choice women for that matter. I'd even agree with you to the extent that I understand that women are certainly closer to the issue of abortion, and it's an issue which is far more relevant and personal to them.

The idea that men shouldn't discuss the issue at all, however, that they can't have anything at all relevant to say and should keep their opinions on abortion quietly to themselves... that's ludicrous. It might be emotionally satisfying to you to vent your anger at anti-choice males this way, but it's not a reasonable position.

Sometimes people who are not personally invested in a particular issue can sometimes have interesting views which arise from their ability to be more objective and dispassionate. Since you can evaluate anyone's arguments on a case by case basis once you get to hear them, why categorically rule any entire class of people wholesale as not possibly having anything of value to say before you hear what they have to say?
