Abortion is Legal Because So Many Men Are Lying, Thoughtless, Irresponsible Dicks.

47. Women pay child support, too.

That's what he did to punish me.

I told him I was pregnant. We were already married for six months and I was on his health insurance. He immediately told me to have an abortion because "we couldn't afford it".

He had a good job and good insurance. I said "No.". I knew if I'd let force me I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Then later, during the divorce, he told people that I "tricked" him. He was too good to wear a rubber, I guess. We never discussed birth control. He started in on me about how "We agreed we wouldn't have kids now...." blah blah which was totally imagined by him. I figured he thought if he could control me and make me have an abortion, and I got pregnant again, then he could wait until I was not fertile anymore. I saw through that. He was an irresponsible narcissist accusing me of being irresponsible.

Eventually he was so emotionally abusive I got sick and was sick for several years, in and out of the hospital, because of his abuse, and gave him custody. I had to pay him child support even though I had a doctorate and couldn't find a job. He had a good steady job and didn't graduate from college. Texas is a community property state and women are presumed equal to men in ability to support the family, due to the Spanish law influence from Mexico, which is far more equal than English and French law (Code Napoleon in Louisiana).

You hear about men who want to force women to have children and you don't hear about men who want to force women to have abortions. I said "No" and have a beautiful grown child. I didn't want my family to die out and I wanted to experience motherhood, and hopefully raise a happy, healthy person.

I'm staunchly pro-choice and am a third-generation Democrat.
