Implants and IUDs better yet.

IUDs are really great for preventing pregnancy when they punch through your uterine wall and make you sterile for life

That doesn't happen very often anymore.... More likely you get PID.

Do you think a man shouldn't have to pay child support if the woman tells him that she's not going to have an abortion, and he wanted her to have one? Since logically the woman chose to keep the child, and should have to have the responsibility and the male not have to.I do think in all other circumstances the man should have to pay child support though.

If you read between the lines here, what you're saying is, "I think a man should only have to pay child support if he wants to."

I disagree. If men are going to have parental rights, they have to have parental responsibilities as well. If we are going to go the route of saying that women make the last choice and are thus the only ones who should necessarily have responsibility regarding their children, they should also be the only ones with any parental rights. Under those circumstances, a man would only have any connection to his child if the woman decided to allow it.

Yeah, my sister uses the excuse for her three kids that she can't use any birth control. She says the pill makes her depressed and she has a latex allergy. Now please tell me why a woman who manages a 24 hour porn store doesn't know about lambskin condoms. And she says she's allergic to spermicide too. Even some barrier method with no spermicide has got to give better results than what she's doing. Or not doing.

I second this motion.

This of course has been said before. The answer: The male's choice is ejaculation.

I think as long as Abortion is legal men should not be required to pay child support, provided they sign some sort of waiver surrendering all parental rights.

It's of interest to me that a man who doesn't want to pay for a child he didn't want for 18 years is a deadbeat and a loser, but a woman who opts to kill an unwanted child is exercising her beautiful god given right as a woman.

A woman cannot kill an unwanted child. A woman can kill an unwanted fetus.

And the right is all but god given (if we have to go by what many believers in god say)

males who get pregnant should have the option of having an abortion.

NOT those who don't, on who ELSE does.

no one has any business telling telling someone else that they should or should not.

and i still say, 9 out of 10 fetuses would rather be aborted then be born unwanted.

Did you poll those fetuses on their opinion?

You should totally go into child counselling and recommend children from broken homes commit suicide. Death is the preferable option right? Just because their parents were too selfish to do it earlier doesn't mean they should have to suffer now.

What was that quote, "I notice everybody who is for abortion has all ready been born." ?

Yeah, that idea hasn't been posted here... in probably a good week or so.

You've gotta love the internet, where everyone gets to rediscover the wheel and blog about it.

Hey, it's not my fault. It's not like I had any choice in the matter

Yeah, because my parents wanted me. I've seen the misery of those unwanted children, who, if things don't get better, will probebly attempt suicide before they at the age they can contribute anything to the world community... We might as we save them that pain and suffering, if all it will amount to is just a larger, just as dead, just as unfufilled, just as pointless, body.

That is the most depressing thing I have read this week.

I believe in equality for men. Pregnant men should have no more limitations on their access to abortion than pregnant women face. Both should face no limitations whatsoever on their access to these services.

make a topic that probably hasn't been used here before.

Gonna have to really try harder than that then. Your problem is a biological one, not a rights one. You have every right to decide to abort your part in the reproductive process.

It just so happens that the male reproductive process is pretty short, it's commonly known as "pulling out".

In Dutch we say "leaving church before the singing starts" when we refer to "pulling out"

When it's time to the play the game you gotta be ready to pay for play.
What are you wanting? A free ride?

If you don't want to pay for the consequences then don't play the darn game. Keep it in your pants pocket.

One could just as easily use these arguments against abortion rights.

"Rights" of all kinds are arbitrary social constructs, not things arising in nature or divinely ordained.

Unless it's a breaking news topic, you will have a very difficult time posting a topic that hasn't already been done. As for men having a say in abortion/child support, it's quite simple really. Wear a condom or get a vasectomy, and if all that fails... tough luck.

Not really. Biologically speaking, the Female reproductive process lasts around 9 Months. Anytime between conception and the end of that 9 Months she has the option of having an abortion(legally or otherwise, this option is there). Males have that same option through their time in the reproductive process.

Normally, you're right, rights don't necessarily arise in nature. In this instance, however, it's biological in nature.
