Should Abortion Be Only A Womans Choice Or Should Men Have Reproductive Rights Too? live stream

If it’s “My body, my choice”, then it should also be “Your choice, your responsibility”.
There was a time when sharing that name conferred some legal rights to that child: what’s your point.
Men have the same choice as women, keep it in their drawers, otherwise there are no gaurantees.
TOMMY IS LIVE!!
What is the corresponding “right” for men?
Surely you aren’t advocating differential citizenship
In case you haven’t noticed, you lost that argument: move on.
Which individual does the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness redound to? That is the real matter of the question. Until the unborn are reckoned as unprotected individuals, then only a disinterested party can speak for them, that’s the law concerning minors and idiots, except for the unborn, then they are but inconveniences.
What an asinine statement. How does have nine months to decide to reproduce equate to deciding before you even cause a pregnancy?
“Men have the same choice as women, keep it in their drawers, otherwise there are no gaurantees.”
Yes you are correct. Here is the but, there are men who want their baby and can’t stop the women from aborting the child. It’s her “right” Where is his reproductive right? He wants the child and it’s his child too!
Your tagline says “Protect the most vulnerable”. I guess a preborn child in the womb is not vulnerable enough for you to want to protect.
Nobody should have “abortion rights.” End of discussion. Everyone should have the right to refuse to participate in conception.
One thing is for sure, giving women the right to abortion has really messed things up between the sexes. I can see this in Tommy’s chat room. It’s just unreal.
It’s one thing. The attempt to normalize free fornication was upstream.
I think that is an inappropriate “choice”.
The other human that deserves full consideration besides the monther, when it comes to abortion, is the human in the womb whose life would be taken by abortion. That is the principle moral matter regarding abortion.
The issue of a “father’s rights” might have some merit, but it will also NOT address the principle issue - the life of the unborn child - and it will become a sidetracking of that as debates get bogged down in the secondary matter of the father. I say secondary given that the principle rights of the unborn ALWAYS apply whether or not the father is around and whether or not the father cares to have an opinion.
Allow me to hedge so that there is no misunderstanding. I do not support abortion as a form of contraception. It will always be the taking of life, murder, in my opinion. I believe a man should Take responsibility for his children from the time they are conceived and continue to be a father until he is called home and leaves this mortal life.
Having said that,
As long as a women has the right to terminate an otherwise healthy pregnancy, a women should be responsibility for the choices she has made.
If a women has the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy without the consent of the father, the man should have the right to terminate his legal rights and obligations to a child conceived without his consent or a mutual expectation of becoming a parent.
Casual sex, hook ups, booty calls, etc are risky enough without contraception. Holding the man responsible for a women’s choice while prohibiting his choice is not an equal standard. If conception were a result of mutual consent, both should have an equal choice for how it will effect their bodies.
Either both have a choice or neither. That is the only way to influence them to make better (responsible) choices.
Again, I’m in the life begins at conception crowd. Your offspring, your responsibility. Both of you.
Be that as it may, it is a choice that IS being made.
Furthermore, it’s about time we “sidetracked” the debate because your approach HAS BEEN LOSING FOR 50 years!!!!
