So if a man is forcibly impregnated win a fertilized ovum would he have to carry it to term?

I'm on a non-natural tangent here, but please think about this.

Let's say that mad scientists have figured out a way to plant a sac into a man's abdomen that tapped into his blood system. The sac would include lots of hormones, some nutrients, and a fertilized human egg. Basically the man became a host for some externally implanted parasite.

Who would perform an operation to remove this foreign object?

There was a sci-fi story from at least 30+ years ago (John Brunner?) that talked about a male astronaut having sex with an alien - thinking that the alien would have to carry the baby. Nope. Whoops - painful birth down that tiny canal!

1. Not a chance.

But great thought experiment!

2. Gloria Steinem answered this question in 1971: "If men could get pregnant,

abortion would be a sacrament."

And be available at every bar.

3. Trans men face a lot of barriers getting abortion care, as any marginalized group, so the

hypothetical is outdated and borderline offensive.

4. Noted. It's hard to discuss much that gets close to borders.

And everyone has their own set of borders/triggers.

But I understand and will try to be more aware.

5. Get it out now!

6. I wouldn't and I don't expect women to either.

I am for absolute abortion on demand.

7. I dunno,

but it reminds me of the plot of the movie "Enemy Mine."

8. It would basically be a type of ectopic pregnancy

Which is a horrible way to die.
