CVS is too dangerous, it shouldn't be done unless there is already a very good reason to suspect something could be wrong with the baby.

That aside, the whole concept of genetic testing making men any more pregnant than they already are is absurd.

Until men get pregnant, they will not have equivalent interests or rights. The woman will always have more at stake than the man. End of story.

Either all human beings (including those in the womb) are created equal or they are not.

If you are somehow deluded into thinking that (simply because is it the nature of man to be either male or female) that they have difference "human rights" based solely on their physicality, you are sadly mistaken.

Where the rights of one group of humans
(as sorted by the simpleminded who judge them first by their sex, color, ethnicity, intelligence, development, perfection or some other accident of personality)
impinge on the rights of another, these so-called "rights" must needs be faux egalitarian precedents.

The "woman's right" to claim sovereignty over the body she herself has failed to govern at the expense of the wholly distinct life within her womb is just such a travesty.

How is that possible?

You cannot believe how horrid and dispicable that viewpoint is to me. This is the viewpoint you use to justify the murder of a child?

The woman can, at any point in the child's life (should she choose not to murder it.) simply drop the child off on Dad's doorstep and run. The man will not find the courts sympathic to him if he tries to track her down and get support. The male has a commitment to give the woman money for 18 years of the child's life... and may not even have the right to see the child. The woman who has much less of a stake in it. She can kill the child-she can give the child up-she can dump the child on someone else, but 18 years, daddy best pay.

The current system is wrong, it is vile, and it needs fixed.

Of course, the child has no rights, yet it has the most at stake.

Shalom.
