Again, if I missed that part in Roe vs. Wade, please show me where it is. Concerning the law, yes, that often is how it is interpreted, unfortunately.

Show me where it doesn't say that. You're the one trying to tell me that Roe v Wade doesn't give women the right to abort their children.

But you asked me what gives me the right to have a say over the child in a woman's body. I responded with "the same thing that says I'm financially accountable." So it's quite simple. Either I'm responsible for the child, or I'm not. Pick one.

You're responsible for it after it has been born. That's what the law says. Whether you will actually be responsible is up to you.

And save your heartless drivel about "after the child is born" for Law & Order. I'm interested in fair, consistent legal interpretations - not to mention the well being of every child, not just the convenient ones.

I'm interested in what the law currently mandates. As things stand, you do not have the right to decide whether your partner carries a child to term or not. You are financially responsible for it as soon as it comes out of her body...as a conservative this shouldn't be difficult for you to understand, and I would assume that you would be married to the mother of your children. If I'm giving you too much credit, please let me know. If you're not married to the mother of your children and if you want visitation or joint custody, you are financially responsible for those children. Period. If you don't like the law, don't whine to me. Change it yourself.

Nope, not what I said.
