What some men do not have the right to do is try and force their anti-abortion opinions on to women.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

What's yours, as this question was originally pointed at you.
I do not deny that many women are also anti-abortion but I suspect most legislatures in the USA and indeed most churches in the USA are male dominated."It ain't necessarily so

To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so."

If you are specifically referring to abortion then I would offer one caveat. When the opinions of men are enforced via legislation then abortion becomes a political football.

You said:

Which the question that follows is:
So, is it your opinion that people who haven't experienced <X> can't force their opinions on others WRT to <X>, or is abortion a special carve out for you?

Men are free to express concern and their ethical views but they do not have the ethical right to prevent a woman making a decision about her own body."It ain't necessarily so

It is an answer that qualifies my original comment. Men have no right to force their opinions [i.e. by legislation or physical force] concerning abortion on women seeking the freedom of choice.

I started a thread for this topic to be discussed.
For instance, the correspondent in question has used the argument that since men can't get pregnant they should butt out of discussions concerning abortions on previous occasions. But when I pointed out that she had no trouble with it when 9 male members decided Roe v. Wade I got crickets in response.
I'm always still in trouble again

That was actually funny!
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
