Abortion: A man’s view

Body
For many years some people have been making the case for “life begins at conception.” Is there a united opposition to that view? Where is the pushback? In my opinion, the lack of a consistent and direct counter-position is why Roe v. Wade got overturned, and why the Alabama State Supreme Court has ruled that frozen embryos in an IVF clinic are “extrauterine children.” And why using an IUD is equated now with abortion, along with the “morning after” pill.
