I was simply flipping the ridiculous argument on its head. Consent to sex in one case should not mean the preclusion of becoming a parent in another case. Post-conception options should be had by all. If the woman as one party makes the choice to be a mother knowing the your former sex partner does not want to be a father or father children with you, there should be an option. The law as it stands punishes males while holding female sexuality unaccountable. Various traumatic abortion procedures notwithstanding.

I bet we wouldn't be pulling babies out of walmart toilets in that world.

When a woman gives birth to a child whom she does not want to raise, it may be an infrequent occurrence for a man to hope to step into the void and raise the child of his ex-girlfriend alone. When such a case arises, however, there is no good reason to relieve the mother of financial responsibility toward her biological offspring when the law does not do so for a similarly situated father.

Adoption allows the mother to terminate her obligations to an unwanted child but a man is not allowed to unilaterally terminate his obligations.

If a woman decides on adoption, the father MUST sign away his rights as well... do you mean that both parents must consent if the adoption is to go forward? That would indicate that the woman, at least legally, does not hold the rights on this one.

"With my second daughter, because I was still brain washed I wasn't shyt with out a husband through my religious up bringing..."

Also, were all of your children born out of wedlock accidental pregnancies that occurred while you were using birth control, or were they planned?

I can't say either were an accident, because I was taught if you used BC you were licensing yourself for sex, as a mixed young woman, with a horrific upbringing, I didn't know much of anything in the way of defending myself against young sexually aggressive men. That is NOT to say anything was rape, but I was lost as to what to do, and had no parent figure to turn to for answers, or support... Therefore the reality of becoming pregnant was not WISHED FOR, however I knew it was a good possibility

Anyone who has sex without understanding it's consequences is...[not being very smart or responsible]

Ahhhhh yes, the bitterment of men who feel they should be able to dictate that a woman gets an abortion, because he didn't want the pregnancy....

I have to laugh when a man complains that a child was created, and he doesn't have completely equal say as to what happens... YES, it is sad when men are willing to raise a child, alone if need be, and the woman decides she can't, or won't go through the pregnancy.

There are plenty of inequalities for both genders in the world, this is just one of so very many.

I agree. But why do many women only seem to be okay with accepting these inequalities when they rule in their favor? For example, you don't really hear an argument like this when it comes to a woman not being able to get a certain type of job (usually physical) based on the natural inequality of males being bigger and stronger.

But why do many women only seem to be okay with accepting these inequalities when they rule in their favor?

In the future, when babies are developed in synthetic womb in a laboratory, I will be happy for you to have an equal right. Until then, you can not force another person to have an abortion or carry a baby for nine month.

And when women become asexual and no longer need a male to reproduce, then they can completely cut a man out in a decision such as abortion or raising a child.
