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.
You said it!!! I wish you’d call into tommy and say it!!!
