    Hmm, I still don’t understand. I mean if men want to be able to decide, too… being anti and wanting a law that strictly prohibits it for everyone, also strips them from the ability to make a decision. And additionally it’s not a compromise. Forcing someone to something regardless, e.g. bearing a child is one of the extremes, not some middle-ground in between… You’d need a proper reason to force people to do something. And that can’t be I want to decide over someone else’s life. So either it’s religuous or backed with some reasoning that’s more than an opinion, or just for the sake of it.

      Ah, here is your first issue - you expect rational thought. It isn’t, they aren’t.

      Forcing someone to something regardless, e.g. bearing a child is one of the extremes, not some middle-ground in between…

      The woman’s life, opinions, etc, dont matter to them. Its a middle ground for these men, nothing else. I’d also say I’d assume for them its more about controlling what a woman can do, and what they believe is the purpose of a woman. Which is why I say there are likely religious undertones behind a lot of it (or just straight up misogyny).

      You’d need a proper reason to force people to do something

      “I’m the guy and this is what I want” - that is their reason.

      Dont expect any sort of coherent or rational thought from anyone anti-abortion. Either they are incredibly ignorant, misogynistic, or a religious zealot.

      Or, more likely, a combination of the three.
