Roe v. Wade for Men

My weekly column at Catholic Exchange offers an extended analysis of Roe v. Wade for Men, if you care to check it out. Excerpt:

The feminists are opposing Roe v. Wade for Men. I suspect one of their primary objections will be that allowing a man to pressure a woman to undergo an abortion is an invasion of her uterus. It's the familiar “It's My Body” mantra.

But it'd really be a fairly radical shift in position. Among the choice folks, abortion has always been portrayed as the easy and far less-invasive solution to an unwanted pregnancy. Pro-abortion writer Michael Kinsley, for instance, wrote last year in The Washington Post that he and other pro-choicers “believe that forcing a woman to go through an unwanted pregnancy and childbirth is the most extreme unjustified government intrusion on personal freedom short of sanctioning murder.”
