About half of women choosing abortion bring a man along. Some bring their brother, dad, grandfather, uncle, friend or boss; most who bring a man bring their partner. More men would have accompanied the women had they not stayed home to care for the other child or children (most women choosing abortion already have at least one child), or they are working, or she preferred to have her friend or mother with her.

What happens when men are encouraged to speak their minds about abortion? Many abortion providers realize that men's voices are valuable -- contrary to the suggestions made in the recent rash of claims that "men are victims of abortion too."
