Men don't have reproductive choices post conception. If I have sex with a woman (who has reproductive rights) that results in a pregnancy, she chooses the outcome, not me. I'll admit, I have a better shot at her choice aligning with mine, but that's little better than no choice at all.

Can you imagine for a second if women didn't have the right to vote? What would you think if I told you, well women don't need the right to vote? Men can vote for them. It's kind of the same thing. Men don't have reproductive choices by proxy. Women will choose what they want, post conception, and men have to abide by that choice regardless of how it affects them.

Look, I totally support women's reproductive rights. I have a wife and a daughter. But I do so because I love women and I think they should have that right.

I don't support women's reproductive rights out of self interest, because there there is very little self interest for me in women's reproductive rights. The self-interest argument is just not very compelling.
