So it seems

[bloom]

that there are quite a few people (app. one third) who voted in a recent DU poll that they think it is unfair that single women can choose to get abortions or adoptions or choose to have babies that were unplanned and the men don't get to choose anything. (As if any of those choices are necessarily good ones for the potential mother).

Plus - quite a few men are mad that if the woman chooses to raise the child - they are responsible for making some (often rather nominal IMO) monetary contribution.

The fewer the encounters the man had with the woman - the more indignant the man (from what I've heard from child support collectors).

To hear some men tell it - it's like paying for sex after the fact instead of paying a prostitute up front.

So this is question for the women - what do you think about this?

Is this the inevitable consequence of abortion - that (many) men feel that they should not have any responsibility - since women have this "choice"?
