If we are talking rape, that's a game changer. I think automatically, the man gets no say if he raped, meaning this is not the thread for discussion.


no they have no need to accept YOUR moral code. they can use their own and if it includes abortion then its their moral choice in dealing with an unwanted or tragic pregnancy.


Then why not release all murderers and rapists from prison? They shouldn't have to adhere to OUR moral code if their own includes murder/rape to deal with an unwanted person/need.

So you do support bodily sovereignty? Then why do you hate abortion?

since most women having an abortion are already mothers it is recognizing that another pregnancy and another child is not a good idea at that time.

If you recognize that, then you should give the child to adoption, not abort it.

Except the ongoing child support payments are to, you know, SUPPORT your child and make sure it has food, clothes, and shelter.


They're necessary because women who choose to have children are on average low income. Low income men who get low income women pregnant on average earn more than those women, and on average run off. Said women have difficulty supporting those children after they've counted on the man to be there to supplement their lower income.

When women are treated like human beings across the board, child support and alimony will no longer be necessary.

I have argued repeatedly for Rape to be equated with murder by the Law. I equate it with murdering someone's soul and leaving them to attempt to live afterward.

Adoption doesn't remove the pregnancy, just the child. Not everyone wants to be nearly disabled for five plus months, you know.

a man can evade responsibility, a woman cant.

having an abortion IS taking responsibility. that YOU dont approve is meaningless. its still taking responsibility.

Your definition of responsibility is not law either.

A man can also get served papers for trying to avoid responsibility. She can sue the a-hole for child support. In this day and age, she often wins. And just because a man can avoid responsibility, doesn't mean he doesn't have it. Same with a women. Just because she can avoid responsibility with abortion, doesn't mean she should.

In any case, the first post of yours I replied to seemed to indicate prevention, not destruction.


she should do what seems best to her to do.

men avoid responsibility to their children all the time. my neice had a baby-daddy who wasnt official employed for years so that he wouldnt have his check garnished.

I'm not sure most of the people who oppose it are aware of how taxing pregnancies can be on a woman.

Preventive measures that don't work when you're already pregnant.

In my opinion, once a girl is pregnant she should carry the kid to term. If she doesn't want to get pregnant she should either not have sex, make the guy use a rubber, use birth control, or at least the morning after pill. It is a separate genetic entity, and although reliant on the mother for support at the time, is still a human life, and as such should be protected until old enough to prove itself undeserving of life by committing murder or other capital crimes. I consider abortion to be equal to infanticide.

As the law currently stands, I would not expect to be told about anything from a one night stand, unless she wanted me to support the kid, which I would gladly do so upon receipt of proof of paternity. If my wife or girlfriend were to abort my kid though, I would kill her and take my chances with the court.

By your own reasoning, why should we be allowed?

So you say. Your type say this all the time, after conveniently redefining rape so that ~10% of all actual rapes "count." Your idea when implemented as policy will effectively turn all or most rapes into murders.

You and everyone who agrees with you on this issue are wrong. Women are human beings who have the right to their bodies and all occurrences therein.

A fetus is a life, period. The only reason it can be aborted is to save the mother's life.
