Why berate the abortion issue, when child custody was the focus?

I brought it up because I feel it's sexist for women to be able to have 100% decision in the choice of killing their kid. If the father wants to keep the kid, the woman should not be allowed to kill it. Many women who get abortions don't want to take personal responsibility for their actions prior to pregnancy but certainly feel a man is responsible for child support if she keeps it. There is little fairness towards men on parental issues but yet the major sex based groups out there are women fighting for their rights. I simply do not understand this when it's the men who should be fighting for THEIR rights.

I often wonder about the really young couples, who find that they are pregnant, outside of marriage, and are unprepared.

When they decide to abort, the mother of the child truly does feel the greatest brunt of the responsibility. But the father must feel something too. This decision will haunt them forever! And, without waxing poetic about forgiveness, I firmly believe both parents can be forgiven for the decision they made, by the Creator.

If only they could be stopped from making this decision in the first place!

Part of the problem is that some men are more than happy not to have to accept responsibility for their behavior, while others may want to accept responsibility but have been "beaten" into submission by the courts and media.
