If you're facing an abortion decision, or if there's one in your past, there's something you should know. Evidence is mounting that the fathers of aborted children can be dramatically affected by an abortion decision. In many ways men respond very differently to the loss of a child from abortion. To understand your reaction, it is important to first understand what motivates the human male. An important element motivating men is their desire to procreate.
Men provide an essential role in the continuation of the human race.
Almost every man, whether he verbalizes it or not, values the idea of having offspring of his own flesh and blood - carrying on the family name or bloodline. Men are also highly programmed to protect their family. This need to protect their offspring should not be underestimated. Society often judges you based on your ability to be successful at procreation, provision, protection, performance and pleasure. If you experience an abortion, these key elements of life may be seriously damaged, or often totally obliterated.
