7) "Abortion on request will deny men's rights"

A man should not be able to have children to order by forcing a woman to go through with an unwanted pregnancy. A right to decide for a father-to-be cannot be legislated for without condemning some women to compulsory motherhood. In any healthy relationship, mutual agreement would easily be arrived at without resort to the law. We are opposed to any measures which bolster the tradition of regarding women as breeding machines, and their children as property.
