I disagree completely on everything you say. I don't think the legality of abortion is something to be decided by men, nor do I think men should have no say in the life of their unborn children.
I wasn't saying that men should be the ONLY deciders on legality, I just meant that they can't have it both ways. They can't expect to have a say, as in making abortion more 'fair'...because there's just no reasonable legal way to do this. So it's either deal with it being legal, and slightly unfair in some cases, or level the playing field completely and make it illegal.
Any kind of law you could possibly propose that would either try to convince a woman to have an abortion or to not have one would either be completely ineffective and easily circumvented, or be coercive in nature and be just plain wrong for that reason alone. Do you really see our legal system allowing or promoting a 'do it or else' type of situation? Especially with abortion?

Men have to decide....do they want NO abortion or allow abortion and have no say in the matter. There's no way to have both.
