I totally agree that men should be able to participate in a choice over something such as abortion, adoption, etc. And to my knowledge something like that is in place somewhere, but the problems lie in the same area as everything else. First of all, we have a very inadequate judicial system. Case in point: a cat fight over whether or not a living, breathing human being deserves to be loved and taken care of. This is not a baby in utero, a fetus or any other such abortion jargon. Its a child.  

Secondly,  If responsibility were taken in the first place whether you wanted a baby or not, and whether your partner wanted a baby or not, unwanted babies would not be a reality. And really, when the baby is unwanted, the abortion may be physical, the drop off may be horrible, but there is surely at least an internal death that child will have to live with, if nothing else. It all comes down to character character character. If you know who you're sleeping with, and you both want the same thing, and you both act in a responsible manner to attain that thing, then you will not have an issue.  

Hey, maybe we can just start forcing genital restricting devices on all these men and women who obviously need to take some extra time to think.. mature.. THINK?? I mean.. if we can't just abstain, and we can't wear a condom, and we can't take a pill every morning, and we can't even get along on issues like abortion... ; yet we insisnt on sleeping with one another for some dumb reason.. maybe we should find a way to take genitals out of the genetic code until some level of intelligence and maturity gets woven into the general population?
