Abortion: Why abortion is harmful to women (and benefits men)

Many people think that if you are pro-life and a man, you are a misogynist simply for opposing a woman's so-called "right" to choose in the case that they are pregnant in an unplanned way. However, most women do not know what an abortion entails, or else they would not be getting one. 

The Sixth Commandment is stated in Exodus 20:13 KJV:

Thou shalt not kill.

The Greek root word in the New Testament cross-referencing the commandment not to kill is φονος (Latin: phonos) and refers to any death apart from natural death, including murder. The Early Church treated all taking of a human life as murder, including abortion. Abortion was a rare event even in the Early Church, but the Early Christians treated abortion as murder. Whenever an abortion happened, the mother and the father of the unborn child were both excommunicated from the Early Church. Abortion then was seen as a choice that a cold and unloving mother would make. 

Abortion is not what you think it is. Most women have no idea of what an abortion entails, or else they would listen to her mothering instincts and not get an abortion. Abortion, in all cases, involves a medically-induced miscarriage. You take a pill, and then the baby comes out stillborn. Miscarriage is traumatic in all cases for women, and thus women should not be getting an abortion for their own good, as well as the life of the unborn child. 

Men benefit from abortion. In many cases, if not most, a man is pressuring a woman to get an abortion when he doesn't want to take responsibility for a child like a man should. Part of being a man is to take responsibility for his choices, including taking responsibility for his sex drive. A man can just keep it in his pants, and then women wouldn't have to choose. A man can easily just masturbate when he wants sex, and then he can have what he wants with a woman just fine. 

Some people say that pro-life views can be misused. The argument is thar a man can quarter his wife by keeping her pregnant. The problem there is not the unborn child, but the man who keeps her pregnant. Usually, that amounts to a form of rape known as marital rape, which is a form of domestic violence. If the woman had any choice in the matter, she would take birth control, with birth control being lawful even in the biblical tense. In the biblical tense, the morning-after pill is the only birth control that was banned. Birth control usually doesn't end a pregnancy, but instead prevents it from happening. Abortion can be used as a means to cover up for sexual immorality.

The Greek root word translated "fornication" is πορνεία (Latin: porneia) and refers in this context to any sexual relations that lead to abortion, including rape and incest. A man should take responsibility for his sexual behavior, and not get women pregnant out of wedlock. If men followed this commandment, and kept it in their pants, abortion would be even less common than it is now. 

Currently, abortion is a rare procedure, usually done to cover up for sexual impropriety. Usually, the mother has no clue that she is being led into a forced miscarriage, all the way until the baby comes out of the womb stillborn. Most women know intuitively not to get an abortion personally, but refuse to judge other women for that "choice". Why not just take it further and judge based on that moral offense.

Being pro-life originated as a feminist stance, with most of the foremothers of the feminist movement being completely pro-life and anti-abortion. The foremothers of the feminist movement warned women of the dangers of abortion. I myself am a man, but try my best to be a feminist. I am looking out for women when they say they want an abortion. Abortion is harmful to women, and thus all those culpable should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. I support the law in Texas, where a doctor performing the procedure is sentenced by the court to 99 years in prison. 

Abortion is murder. However, I am also anti-death penalty in all cases, including in the case of abortion, but also in the case of murder outside of the womb. Only God can take a human life, and otherwise, any killing is murder. I also support paid parental leave for all women for the first 6 years of a child's life, as the mother should be able to stay home and care for her children. Children need their mother for the first 6 years of their childhood, due to constant separation anxiety in children that young. 

I, as a pro-child man, can see the issue of abortion clearly. Men often refuse to take responsibility for children that they have out of wedlock. I as a man am the first to apologize for this form of toxic masculinity. I myself would love the opportunity to nurture and protect a young child. I oppose all abortion, including in the case of life of the mother. That is because most men can nurture, if they really care about the child. Nurturing children is not "women's work". If the mother dies in childbirth, the father should ideally be there for the child. Men who grow close to milk-dependent children can come to a point where they lactate for the child. It can happen in any man if they take lactation cookies. I, as a man who supports children's rights, cannot see any reason why a man can't nurture. What is getting in the way? Male pride and male entitlement. The current order of gender roles is toxic, with men running away from individual responsibility for children that they father. Be a father, and quit your complaining. 

The role of men in the Bible was never to overpower. Instead, men took responsibility in all directions, including for their sex drive, and including for children born from their sex drive. Most men today are pansies for being insecure in the paternal role. A good man saves himself for marriage, and fathers all children that he helped bring into the world. Men in the Early Church sometimes had to father their children all by themselves, in which case they did just fine, even lactating when the mother wasn't around to breastfeed the child. Even the Apostle Paul took in an orphaned child, and had no trouble even lactating for the child. Paul mainly gave parenting advice, and the women swooned after him - lie a peacekeeping chain - and he struggled to ward off the women, as he was a non-contact pedophile who was more occupied with children than women. Saul was the ruthless one, not Paul. Men in the Early Church usually nurtured their children from afar, by encouraging religious learning in their children. But, a man could easily "mother" then if he had no other choice. A man is there to take responsibility in all regards, including taking responsibility for caring for his wife and children. 

The depraved and entitled mothers who murder their children in the womb, and all those who aid and abet, will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into torrents of ever-burning Hell-fire prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent!
