Another issue entirely. I do not believe that women or men should have that choice. However, the situation is never going to be 100% fair. Women carry and bear the children. Men don't. It is not equal or fair, but it can't be changed. Responsibility for a child occurs when it is conceived. It is at this point that both men and women need to protect themselves from future problems.
Yeah, so?
So what.
She doesn't want the "burden" of "carrying" for nine months, and then two days in the hospital -- so, that justifies a right to "terminate the unwanted child"?
Well, he has to "carry" the "unwanted child" for eighteen YEARS.
By any rational measure, that would give him a greater say in the outcome.
NONE of this is about "fairness", NONE of it is about "the children's best interest" -- and ALL of it is about power and money.
To not see that, is to buy into the biggest BS propaganda campaign in history.
Please note that I am 100% opposed to abortion -- but, I would indeed support a "paternal abortion option", simply because it would result in the end of abortion, period. Remove the advantage, and, institute true "fairness", and it will no longer be advantageous to maintain it.
The day that women are told that "the father" can demand that the "unwanted child" must be terminated (exactly as SHE can demand that HE spend the better part of the next two decades paying her a large part of his income, or going to jail if he refuses), there will be a demand -- from the feministas for an end to abortion, period.
