Yes, that's true. Sorry females if we've offended you by partaking in a debate we have no place in.

So you turned into a male agian... Weren't you a female once? And I know I asked you this already, because I'm more then sure you've been changing the gender in your profile...
Anyway:
YES - Tom I agree that there are cases where abortion is the best way to go. And NO, men will never know what it's like to carry a baby or to give birth to it. And YES - there are positive and negative sides to abortion. But then again there are positive sides of drug abuse also, still I don't agree to it.
Abortion and drug abuse aren't the same - so maybe that example isn't the best one, still...
My opinion still stands. I am against abortion! There are cases where I would recomend abortion myself (and I named a few at the very begining of this thread - like rape), but those are the exceptions to the rule.
My main objection is to the use of abortion as a prevention of the side effects of sex. I think that having an abortion simply because you don't want to have a baby, but you couldn't withhold yourself from having sex - it NOT acceptable. If a girl had to have sex (even with contraception) and still got pregnent - she should not be alowed to terminate that embrio. Why should a future human life be killed, to support her lust?
I know - you'll say that it's easy for me to say, because I never will get pregnent. But that's got nothing to do with it.
It's because I'm convinced people are too obsesed with sex and shouldn't have so much of it (at least not if they aren't prepared to take the full consequences - and giving birth is one of them). There is no need for teenagers (especially ages between 12-17) to even have sex - yet more and more of them have it - because they don't need to carry the consequences. I'm also very much against people treating sex as nothing more then a pleasurable excercize (regarthless of the age group) - and they too are taking comfort in knowing they won't have to deal with the side effects.
So I am against abortion, but every rule alows exceptions. If the situation is really such, that an abortion should be performed - the rules should be ignored.
So abortion will become an exception - not the rule! And people (both women and men) would not take it too easily!
