So, let me prefix by saying that I'm not on any perticular side, though I'm heavily leaning towards pro-choice. I was just wondering, because it seems to me that the dichotomy somehow always centers around "Unborn Rights" or "Woman's Rights", and it feels like something is missing. I mean, there is also a father, someone who will be extremely affected by any choice made (emotionally, financially, .etc)

Now, I'm strictly talking about unplanned pregnancy as a result of consensual intercourse (leaving rape out of it), and I'm not trying to make the claim the men's right are somehow more important than women's (or even equal to).

I am aware of the hardships of pregnancy and child-birth and the toll it has on the body. I am not, in any way promote the idea that a man should decide on a woman's body. I'm simply thinking that parenthood is also a big deal (not ONLY birth or pregnancy)

I'm open to an honest and civil debate. I am genuinely curious and have a willing to learn

Edit: I need to add something because people keep writing some version of "men shouldn't have a say because it's women's rights to her body". If that's your only take then you don't have to write it because that part it agreed upon. I'm looking past that mantra to try and figure out WHY the only thing that we shine a spotlight on is the part of the pregnancy and birth, while utterly ignoring to decades of parenthood being forced upon the father without anything as even a minimal recognition that they matter AT ALL.

Thanks
