Men will never have to make such a decision for themselves. It is one area where their opinion will never be more than a completely uneducated opinion.

They will never feel the pangs of childbirth...

they will never feed an infant from their breasts...

they will never risk bleeding to death following delivery...

they will never worry about being unable to eat for weeks because of pregnancy induced nausea...

they will never have to make the choice of choosing to continue a pregnancy at risk to their own health...

they will never know the frustration and total grief of repeated miscarriage or stillbirths...

they will never be faced with the prospect of either death for themselves or death for the child they carry...

they will never know what it is like to have to discontinue much needed medication during pregnancy...

they will never experience weeks (or even months) of bedrest due to pregnancy...

they will never be fired or refused promotion from their job because of their reproductive choices...

they will never carry stretch marks across their stomachs from previous pregnancies...

their pelvic bones will never be altered/stretched due to childbirth...

they will never know how a body can be completely taken over and altered during pregnancy.

BTW, this list could go on forever... because of all these reasons and more, pregnancy will always remain a woman's choice (regardless of what the law of the land may or may not be).
