"It is commonly said that if males were the ones who got pregnant, there would be no laws limiting abortion. In fact, the public opinion polls routinely and consistently show that more males favor abortion than females. I think males regard abortion rights as a way to avoid responsibility for their actions. The decision in Roe was not about protecting women. It was about protecting doctors, but I think this legislature can do something about protecting women. For example, it could ban the partial birth abortion. Actually, it is a kind of infanticide. This is something that the AMA has already said is never medically justified and is a real danger for women."
