Ditto WI's statement...I would be devastated.

If I am understanding your post correctly....
Are you saying that a man should be able to stop an abortion if he wants to take care the future child? How could he be forced to do this if he changed his mind? Should he be forced to be a father and if so how can he be?
My god that would mean that any man could control a woman's body if he saw fit. I think we quit being chattel a long time ago.
If the man doesn't want the woman to have the pregnancy go to term, does that mean he gives up his rights and responsibilities to that child?
In other words does he forfiet his responsibility to provide support whether it be monetary or otherwise because he didn't want it in the first place? |
