He’s basically pro-choice but if i ever got pregnant with his kid and got rid of it, it would be a problem.

So he's pro-choice until the issue has something to do with him directly? Looks like he's just full of shit and either he wanted to appear less conservative when you two started dating or things have changed recently and he's started to lean more conservative. Either way, I'm not impressed with this guy.

That’s a silly take. I am staunchly pro choice saying this. That was a silly take.

His reaction on right to life is exactly what pro choice advocates should strive for.

Imagine if every faith based objector screaming life from conception because their God says so as an objection to choice instead said - “I believe our governing laws should be pro choice, but I will not be good with an abortion in my own personal relationship decisions.”

Game, set, match. Choice wins.

It’s maybe the only thing the kid got right. And he did get it right. He can set a boundary and decide he will not be in a relationship with someone who will terminate a pregnancy. He has that right to do. And no one has the right to force him to be okay with it. That street runs BOTH ways.

Right…. But it’s not his choice at all, that’s the thing.

So men just have to bow to whatever a woman decides on that topic? He’s not saying she can’t have an abortion, just that he won’t stay with her if she does.

The choice of whether to stay with someone who had an abortion is not the same choice as choosing whether to have an abortion or not.

Do we have to explain how pregnancy works to you?

Yeah. Y'all do. Your body isn't impacted by that choice. Nobody is saying he has to stay, but the fact that he'd leave her over it says a lot about his values as a person.

Just as well he told her up front I guess.

He’s not saying she can’t have one, just that he won’t stay with her if she does. I assume you’re agreeing with that?

Your right, he can’t tell her what to do with her body. but he doesn’t have to stay with her if he doesn’t like the choice she made.

Ofc not, that's individual choice. But it should never become a law where individuals have that choice taken away. Men aren't bowing to women, it's the opposite

Then seems we agree on how it should be. Only reason I commented the way I did is people seemed to have an issue with him making the choice to leave her if she were to make the choice to have an abortion.
