I personally am opposed to abortion (unless medically necessary) and think that men should step up and take care of the child. I also think that women who choose to abort due to lack of responsibility are just as bad as men who abandon their children.
We like to vilify the men and hold them accountable, but where is the womans accountability? This is basically a womans infringement of mens rights. I support equal rights not special rights. | ================================================== ===
The woman's accountability comes in when she raises a child, with or without financial support from the father. She's the one struggling to make ends meet, educate the child, provide care and supervision, etc. While a man might be forced to pay for it some of it, he doesn't actually have to participate in the day to day stuff if he doesn't want to.
Carrying and raising a child isn't a meal ticket for women and the decision to keep an unwanted pregnancy may not be an easy one. yes, there is an element of unfairness to the whole thing, but since only one gender can get pregnant and bear a child, I think that by default, it will stay unfair. |
