Should men have a say in abortion rights?
00:03
No.
00:04
Men don't have to carry a child.
00:06
Men don't really face any responsibilities.
00:09
Yes.
00:10
This is Russell for Brute.
00:11
I'm in Washington Square Park.
00:12
And we're here to ask some men about abortion.
00:15
Should men have a say in abortion rights?
00:18
No.
00:19
I think everybody should have a conversation,
00:21
but I think ultimately,
00:24
you know, it's not up to us.
00:25
What to do is, you can't tell someone what to do with their body.
00:28
It has nothing to do with us, you know.
00:29
It's really all them.
00:32
We're not the ones that's actually getting pregnant and giving birth.
00:36
That's not our choice.
00:38
Why do you think men should have a say in abortion rights?
00:40
Because men have a lot of power,
00:42
and so they could make good laws.
00:45
No.
00:46
I believe in my body, my choice.
00:49
Well, they should have say.
00:51
No, they should only be able to talk to the woman.
00:53
The woman is the one to make decisions because it's her body.
00:57
Perhaps in their own relationship, it's their child,
00:59
but not as far as nationally goes.
01:02
Yes, I do.
01:03
I really do.
01:04
Because it takes two to tangle, you know what I'm saying?
01:06
You know, that's his baby just as much as hers.
01:08
Everyone should have a say in abortion rights, women and men included.
01:12
I don't think it should be a decision that should be made by one singular sex.
01:16
What do you think is the best way for a man to be an abortion rights activist?
01:21
They're not supposed to be there at all.
01:23
No idea.
01:24
Listen to what women say.
01:26
Yeah.
01:27
Respect women's rights.
01:29
Stand up for the people in his life who are fighting for the same cause,
01:32
and, you know, stand behind it if he believes in it.
01:35
The only way is to support the woman.
01:37
There's nothing they can do except for support her.
01:39
Men should be educated, you know?
01:42
I think they should be informed of the laws, the procedures,
01:46
things that happen in those situations.
01:48
If the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade,
01:51
how do you think that would affect you?
01:53
As a man? Yeah.
01:56
I'm sure the same way it would affect women.
02:01
I mean, like, right now they're playing, like, games with actual human beings.
02:06
If they want to carry the baby, why not?
02:08
If they don't, why not?
02:10
That's their body, their choice.
02:12
You know what I mean?
02:13
I don't know if it would, like, really affect me.
02:17
Maybe the things I might do to someone else, but, like,
02:23
I mean, even that doesn't really affect me, selfishly.
02:27
I mean, I think we would all feel some sort of ripple effect
02:31
because we all have, you know, moms and sisters and aunts that we all care for,
02:36
and it's like, these should be essential rights for women.
02:40
The only way it would affect me is because it would hurt my friends, I know that,
02:44
because they're really upset about the issue right now.
02:46
That's one of those things that wouldn't affect me at all,
02:49
but it would create a cultural environment that would create a lot of angry women.
02:54
That would affect me.
02:56
It would affect me a great f***ing deal.
02:59
I mean, directly, at this time, I don't think it would affect me,
03:03
but, you know, at some point down the line, it could.
03:06
It could affect everyone.
