You cannot have a rational discussion about this topic in the US.

If you mean weighing facts - never easy - then rational discussion is possible. Agreeing on what the facts are is the problem.

Abortion rights advocates say they need more men's voices

Okay, in this opinion piece, says we need support from the other gender, but---

“Men should not be out there trying to run the movement or take away leadership positions,” he said. “But being a part of it, supporting, listening and being active are all things that men can and should be doing.”

---don't need the other gender taking charge.

Why?

Women have always taken the lead in the fight to preserve abortion rights, for obvious reasons: They are the ones who give birth and who, in so many instances, are tasked with caring for children once they are brought into the world.

I am prochoice, but above they leave out the part where men are forced to pay for women who decide to have the baby when the man doesnt want a child AND if the man WANTS the baby he has no rights at all in that regard.....

“Sexuality has become so integrated into our lives, whether or not we’re partnered,” she said. “That is directly related to women’s control of fertility — and women do not control fertility in a world where abortion is not legal. ... Certainly, heterosexual sexual freedom is dependent on the ability to end an unwanted pregnancy.”

Above is not really correct , again men have ZERO rights, ZERO FREEDOM, in whether a pregnancy happens or is terminated......

Times have changed drastically & I think we are at the time where something along the lines of the following SHOULD work.

if both parties want the baby, fantastic!

-if only one party wants the baby, THEY are responsible for everything(if that is the man then ok they should support/compensate the woman during pregnancy until birth, then the man is 100% responsible going forward)

I know, as the article indicates it can get complex in some instances, but for most situations the way this should be handled shouldnt be that hard, but if only one party to a pregnancy wants the child THEY need to be 100% responsible.
