6. Before this diverges, I'd like to point out

I don't disagree that that should be a consideration. However, the core contention that caused me to bring this here, to this audience wasn't about the choice to abort or not for that reason. It is whether I as a male can acceptably venture a hypothetical opinion on what I believe I would do, if I were a prospective mother facing that choice.

That's the only reason I brought it here. That and the contention that I would not find a welcoming audience for the fact that I offered such a hypothetical. Not the merits of the opinion itself, but that I would venture it, specifically as a male.
