Male seahorses could talk! 
NewScientist.com reports that male seahorses form close, monogamous relationships with the female … and it is the MALE that carries the pregnancy from shortly after fertilization all the way to birth!
Were this true of humans, one can’t help but wonder if there would be a VERY marked difference in the way abortion is viewed by some …

I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. - M. Cole

The legality of abortion would simply not be an issue if this were the same situation with human males. Period.

Personally, I would rather carry an infant to birth than listen to a man complain about how uncomfortable he is for nine months.

I can only speak from my experience. 😏. But to be honest, I really didn’t mind getting to be the one who did the time with my kids. 💞

My sister is like that. The happiest times of her life, she has assured me many times, were her 4 pregnancies. Before, or after, not so much.

It is a very unique to experience (and not one that I was great at😏). But like everything else, attitude is everything. Any discomfort was worth it in my mind. 🤗

Ah, sounds like discomfort is your key word here. Most women call it EXCRUCIATING PAIN! But, then, after it is all over, they too decide it was worth it… Until their child grows up to be a serial killer, then not so much.

I only have one serial killer (so far). 🙂 As for the ‘excruciating pain – most men wouldn’t spring for chocolates and flowers, if we claimed to be experiencing a little ‘discomfort’ would they? Thought so!

Truthfully, no idea. I only made one girl pregnant, and though she wanted it (we both did) her parents bribed her into getting an abortion (circa 1972). They promised to provide us with a house when we were married, if there were no kids before hand. She went for that, and had the abortion. Of course, the patents reneged. Then they brought over a family friend from the old country and convinced her it was to her profit to marry him.
I lost track of her, after I attended her wedding. They moved to a different city. I never found her on Facebook once that arrived. I would love to know what happened to her, just because.

Obviously male seahorses are better equipped than male humans. Evolution has tried a few strange things. Sex-!changing fishes is one of the most incredible.

Hidden within this post is my TOTAL disgust at the MEN who want to take the abortion option away from women. Perhaps if the roles were switched, as it is among the seahorses, they might change their thinking.
Then again …

Have you ever read the fascinating Ursula K. LeGuin novel The Left Hand of Darkness? It posits a world with fluidity in sex and roles.

Even if one is not a major follower of science fiction (which I actually am) this is a beautiful novel. There is a somber, elegiac tone to the writing that wrestles with many human issues.

Being a man, I completely concede that men are assholes. Never met one I really liked, when it came right down to it, not in real life. On the internet there seem to be a few nice guys, but the internet never gives the whole picture.
