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

[Augustus]

107. "Lying, thoughtless, irresponsible"?

The person who wrote this headline and this post ought to be ashamed with himself. The very premise of this writing is sexist at its core. It's basically saying that women who choose to have sex with men are
1) doing so under the assumption that they're expecting monetary compensation from those men
2) incapable of supporting themselves in the case of pregnancy
3) gullible and easily manipulated by those men who tell them lies, as if their choosing to have sex required some convincing

All three of these assumptions are despicably sexist. Women are perfectly capable of deciding who to have sex with and are perfectly capable of weighing the possible risks and consequences of their decisions. A women incapable of supporting a child who doesn't take the necessary precautions is just as irresponsible as the man she has sex with.

While I understand the writer's point about abortion evening the playing field, so to speak (the man can cut and run, the woman should have the right to choose to end the pregnancy), he could have made this point without the condescending, 1950's mentality that he clearly still harbors toward women.
