However, the original post has a valid point. If a woman decides to have a child, the man is legally and fiscally responsible for taking care of the child. We have dead beat dad laws, that allow the government to withhold from a man's check funds to pay child support. If it truly is a woman's body and her right to choose, then if she chooses to have the baby then should she not accept the responsiblity?

Furthermore, if the man is responsible if a woman has a baby, then should he not have a say in whether or not she decides to have the baby.

Come now. If it truly were a woman's body and her right to choose, well then there would be no need for dead beat dad laws now would there. Just another in the long list of hypocrisy when it comes to woman and abortion.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
