Default The right to choose

I don't want to offend anyone, but I would like to hear everyone's take on this.

There have been numerous debates about abortion throughout the years. It's a touchy, emotional subject that no one likes to address. However, I am curious as to why men think that they should have say in what a woman chooses to do that will ultimately affect her health and well-being. Now don't confuse this comment - I'm in no way trying to sound sexist - I'm a male. The reason I think that regulations on abortion, if any, should be made by women, is because pregnancy has the ability to cause health conditions that can potentially be life-threatening. Wouldn't it make sense that the people (women) whose very lives could potentially be at stake should have the right to decide whether or not abortion should be legal? I just think it's hard for men to understand the situation since they'll never be faced with it.

What do you guys think?
