I do think men should have more input into the decision. I find the discussions around this topic to be ignorant at best, much of the time. I think remarks like "mutilated", "deformed", and the like to be offensive and akin to body shamming, but it is more offensive when it comes from women. Just as they don't like to be judged on their bodies, neither do we, and despite the patriarchal society, it doesn't make nasty remarks about our bodies any less destructive.
