oh come on, really? you don't think that there are feminists that complain about how men dominate female areas of medicine. that is one of he reasons that there has been an increase in recent years of women who have become midwives and doulas, including abortion doulas. claiming that women have less interest in abortions because of a lack of female doctors is quite a flawed methodology.
and yes it takes two to make a pregnancy, but that is assuming that there are equal power dynamics between men and women in any aspect of life and especially in heterosexual sex.
that is very good that men have to support the child no matter what (i hope that this law does not apply to rapists...) however that does not make them equal partners in what is going on with the woman's body during her pregnancy, unless she decides so. by saying so is not alienating them from the process, however by stating that they have equal say to what goes on with her body, because they had sex is just a rehash of the typical patriarchal trope of men having control over women's bodies (not that i amn saying that that is what you said).
and again here we are a bunch of men discussing what women should be doing with their bodies and what is best for them.
oh us....
