Abortion risks increase with men's abuse of women

In recent days a men's Christian group has apologized for women's abortions. In fact a video with the apology shows the men saying “they” had abortions and apologized for them. Whether or not one thinks it is inappropriate for men in general to take responsibility for abortions may be a question in the minds of some people. But what Christian men, and men in general of all ideological persuasions both secular and religious, might consider as they support an end to abortions is whether or not they verbally or physically abuse their women, for research has determined that those who do so increase the risks that a woman will have an abortion.

In a video entitled “The Apology”, released by Heroic Media, a website encouraged pastors to invite their congregations to join with others in a “grace-filled” video in which men apologize for women'sabortions.
