Quote From: bwisdomWhy do women get all of the chocies? Yes we ALL know what causes pregnacy and we all know how to prevent it.
But WHY IN THE WORLD DO WOMEN GET ALL THE CHOCIES? Yeah, I know... It's your body. Well it's his life also. And no it's not the baby's fault, it's the man and woman's fault. Yet the woman has a choice to have or not have the baby. (Either way the child will be effected. By not having a father or having one who dosen't want him/her.)
What if we start thinking about the tables being turned? What if the man wants the baby but the woman wants to have an abortion? What then?
If women have choices, men should have choices. We as women want to be equals. We have faught for so long, and are still fighting, for our rights to be considered equals.
Yet, we want to have the rules one way when it's in our favor and the other way when it's not??!! We can't have it both ways. We either consider the child a child and treat this child as if it were out of the womb OR we decide it's a choice and it's not a child until post-womb.
We can't have both. We can't be selfish just because it's our bodies, just because we're the womb. Either it's a choice or it's not! After that is decided, then if it's a choice the man should have his choice, if it's not a choice and it's a child, then a father he should be able to refuse or use his parential rights!

I could not have said it better myself. We as women have fought long and hard for our reproductive rights. I don't agree that women should be able to hold all the cards and make all the decisions where bringing an unplanned and often unwelcomed baby into this world. I feel that if a "sperm donor" does not want to become a father and the woman decides to keep the baby, the "sperm donor" should be able to sign away his rights and not be obligated to pay child support. Let the woman raise the baby on her own. No man should be forced into paying for a child he doesn't want. In the end the child will ultimately pay the price.
