Male reproductive rights?

Postby Euronion » Mon Jun 06, 2011 11:48 pm

I am male and after going around the forums on abortion one things keeps on arising, female reproductive rights, "no one should tell a woman what to do with her body" that is beside the point, this thread is about Male reproductive rights, do we have any? if your girlfriend/wife doesn't want a child, but say the boyfriend/husband does, what happens, if the cases were vise-versa, the female can choose to have the child without against the will of the father, but what about the situation changed around, does this give women the right to choose to kill the child against the will of the father as well? and if that is a yes, then what reproductive rights do we as males have?

We have none. After all, what say should we have in our own offspring? We just did half of the work in creating them.

I said creating, not keeping alive until it can survive on its own. And, without males, their would be no birth.

The fetus is in the woman's body, not the man's. So it should be the woman's choice whether she wants it or not, and not the man's.

Half the birth, although, I don't know how the switching out process works.

And then we give half of the mitochondrial DNA.

not, technically, true. many species have no males and are technically entirely female. (in that they bear children)

If you're asking whether, as a man, you (or I) have the right to demand that a woman spend nine months of her life carrying our offspring to term and then risk their life giving birth at the end of that nine-month term, then I think the fairly obvious answer is "no".

Of course. Besides, a proper male has to deal with the female during those nine-months. And believe me, it is hell. I should know, I am going through it right now (and it isn't even my kid!)

Um, the baby is being created for several months. You don't just ejaculate and BOOM there's a baby. The mother doesn't just "keep it alive".

Don't know how to tell you this, but men don't have vaginas. I think your parents have some explaining to do.

That's not giving half the birth, that's giving half the process of impregnation.

Let's see one night of passion is the same as......not seeing it.

Your "donation" is expected but is hardly equal to what is placed on the woman......

I am no idiot, Parkus. I know that. However, the life itself is creating upon conception. After which we have the process of the baby forming, and then birth.

The only pregnant women I've known of were pretty fucking cool when they were pregnant. Your misogynistic silliness about how much of bitch this women you know is does nothing to support your argument.

We are needed, point there is obvious.

However, does carrying the baby for nine months give the woman any more right to it that the man? After all, it is the product of both persons.

If you'd like you can get a vasectomy leaving you unable to reproduce. There are women willing to carry a child for you for a fee if you'd like to reproduce. So, basically, yes. You can make the choice to have a child or to not have a child.

If you are asking if men have any say in what a woman does with her body, then no, nor should they. You would be forcing someone to do something against their will.

but how is baby formed?!?

I digress,
1- we don't "do half the work" we do significantly less than that. All the male "gives" is half the dna. The mother gives all the mitochondrial DNA, the cell and half the DNA. if you wanna give the male the (call it) 30% say due to donation about 30% of the stuff, go for it.

Baby forming is the longest and most burdensome part of the creation process, and that's really what we're talking about, isn't it (unless this is a thread on the right of a man not to be raped)?

so your basically saying that if I get my girlfirend pregnant, I pay for everything, I support her, I want to have a child, she can just say, I want to kill the baby because I want a baby when I want it, sounds more like a stuborn child herself, if it is your son that is going to be murdered because your girlfriend just didn't feel like itm it is somehow correct, I can understand taking this to court and then judging whether the father is prepared to take care of the child if the mother refuses, but this puts the woman in absolute power, and in absolute power of your reprofuction, meaning, you cannot have a child until the woman wants you to, and if you can't. too bad bub looks like your family which has survived evolution for millions of years, that survived the Black Plague, that has lasted for generations, is going to die out because the woman did not feel like it
