Topic : 07/06 Baby Wars

Look, Dr. Phil missed the point when he said "Who here cares about the baby?" <applause> implying that this movement means that men do not care about the baby. 

The point is the same if the man WANTS the baby and the woman decides to abort. The man may CARE about the baby, but he still has NO SAY. 

Both sexes can make mistakes and be irresponsible, but the only gender that is protect from their mistakes and allowed to make choices is the woman. 

Yes, the woman carries the baby for 9.5 months, but that shouldn't allow her to make a decision that will impact the man's life for 18 years minimally (the rest of his life actually). 

There is either EQUAL protection under the law, or there is not. Here it is clear, There is no equal protection and there should be. 

I don't think any of those men are even considering the well-being of the children involved or the potentially involved.  Why should he be able to shirk the responsibility.  The woman can't just give up the child without feeling some regret.  Lots of studies show that women don't just have an abortion, give a baby up for adoption, or abandoning them without feeling some sort of regret later.  They are opening a door to some bad territory almost as bad as the territory opened with Roe vs. Wade.  What has happened to accepting adult responsibilities. 

In regards to that BOY... 

He should be legally resposible for any offspring he produces- whether he accepts it or not!  He made the responsible choice of intercourse and irresponsibly opted not to use protection.  This case is absurd and should be thrown out of the courts because if one does not want children- then they should practice abstinence.  If he does not want a child then it is easy- to not have sex.  I feel bad for the mother of that child because she has to deal with a really ignorant BOY; however, it was her choice to become involved with someone like that.  Anyway, he will never be a man because he can't take care of his responsibilities!
