In reply to the discussion: Question: Why Do MEN Have ANY Say In A WOMAN'S Right To Choose ??? [View all]moriah
(8,312 posts)If paternity can be established in utero, and women can use that ability to ensure that a child they *want* to keep gets supported by the father, then it's their kid -- in or out of the womb.
But it is *still* her body that has to support the child for the first nine months in a way that "child support" even for 18 years cannot match, and therefore why I said that men who are going to be upset about a kid they want to raise getting aborted need to think before spreading their seed. For Goddess's sake, if people would just TALK to each other about this kind of thing before they started fucking, it wouldn't be near the issue. Discussions about each person's opinion on abortion should be part of the same talk that includes when each person was last tested for STDs and what kind of birth control they should use. If a man just screws a woman without bothering to ask her how she would handle an unplanned pregnancy (specifically whether or not abortion is an option she felt she could ever consider -- no one knows until that moment exactly what they will do) he is not in a position to bitch much, IMHO.
If you're adamantly pro-life and male, only screw women who are also adamantly pro-life if you want to avoid the possibility of your child getting aborted. Simple!
