All of this is very true. Also without getting into the nuances illegalizing abortion means forcing women to come to full-term pregnancies, which in my opinion is worse than giving women a choice to terminate what is in their body, and which is dependent on her body.

There are many things men don't know. What I find interesting is that many men who witness childbirth of their own children come to different conclusions. When I saw my wife give birth as go though a pregnancy and knew the details more intimately I found it odd and not right that a woman would be forced to come to a full-term pregnancy. What I saw was a pregnancy in good circumstances.

Other men have a different reactions, but that was one of my thoughts.

The demographics of pro-choice and pro-life are interesting. The further removed from actually getting pregnant or getting someone pregnant the more one is pro-life. People who can get pregnant or might get someone pregnant are more likely to be pro-choice.

Interesting. Yes there are a lot men don't know. A lot men should know about women's reproductive health and well-being.

On another note. I am really sorry you had to deal with a miscarriage. This was also something I was not aware was so common until relatively later in life.

I think I can safely say as a father and husband I that men kind of have the "easy mode" a lot of times biologically and because of this fail to take into account...a lot.
