Men not being involved in the abortion debate

HE HAS WAYS TO KNOW SHE WON'T GET PREGNANT. Like getting himself sterilized. Like avoiding one specific type of sex act (while not avoiding the rest). Like picking a woman who is past menopause or who had herself sterilized. It is entirely his own stupidity if he doesn't do due diligence.

She might be a liar and trick him !!! Women are like that. They will save a condom to get the sperm from it and impregnate themselves.

Hint:

If you are afraid a woman will save a condom to use to impregnate themselves, dispose of the used condom yourself.

According to this study about 16 percent of pregnancies are caused because men hide birth control pills or poke holes in condomsor pressure the woman to become pregnant.


Reproductive Coercion: When Men Sabotage Birth Control


Surveying 641 women who received routine ob-gyn care at Providence’s Women and Infants Hospital, Clark found that 16 percent had received unwelcome pressure to get pregnant. Their boyfriends and partners made it hard for them to use birth control — poking holes in condoms or hiding their pills — or threatened to leave or harm them if they didn’t get pregnant.

Well, in the interest of my best health she should get an abortion. Can I compel her to do so on those grounds?

I hope you are kidding.

So, she takes the condom from you and locks it up so you cannot dispose of it yourself?

CAN'T SUCCEED IF HE IS STERILIZED. Can't succeed if she is obviously past menopause (say, older than 70 --and there are polite ways to estimate a lady's age, like asking her what "class" she graduated high school or college, and then doing a bit of calculation). Can't succeed if sperm is kept away from vagina. What part of "due diligence" are you failing to understand?

ONLY SOME ARE LIKE THAT. And how is it the man cannot take control of his own condom? What part of "due diligence" (including, for example, seeking to verify various claims she might have made, such as having had her tubes tied), are you failing to understand?

They've been known to dig it out of the trash. Better to burn it. of course, not while it's still on... :)

Well, those guys need to pay. They are purposefully getting her pregnant.
 
Women's rights !! Women's rights !!! Blah, blah, blah. Women are like postage stamps; lick 'em, stick 'em, and send 'em away........
 
I think men should have a legal say in what happens to the baby. Either way he's already involved.

Who said anything about the state? Women have taken men to court for child support for children the man did not father. Judges have ruled that a man must pay child support for kids that they did not father. Seems grossly unfair.

First, I wrote that I agree it's wrong for the courts to make men pay for kids that arent theirs. However I'm pretty sure the state is doing so in the best interests of the child.

And men do legally have a say in what happens with a baby.

The unborn is not a baby.
 
Can I refuse to pay child support if she doesn't get an abortion like I wanted her to?

No...can you explain why you should be able to?

Trick men? No! :doh

Like the men that coerce women into having sex with them by telling them they love them and promise to marry them if they get pregnant?

Please, both sides pull that dishonest crap.

Yup...men do that so that the women will become dependent on them and wont leave them.

I know of a couple of cases where guys did it to keep their girlfriends from leaving them to go to college.

Well if you are worried for yourself...are you having sex with the kind of women that will do that?

*snicker* and being careless with birth control will get you a 18 years worth of postage due :lamo

The unborn is not a baby.

The difference between a baby and a fetus is one is wanted the other is not.

Only stupid women believe that line.

That's it; make it personal. Just like a woman. Fight fair; I haven't suggested your comments reflect personal habits. Do they? Did you get knocked up and left holding the baby?

Only if they can find me... :) There's probably a couple still lookin'... :)

PROPAGANDA IS NOT OBJECTIVELY VALID. There is an exact scientific reason why Birth Makes A Huge Difference between an unborn human and any ordinary "baby" or "child". While I'm aware that "old habits die hard", and the habit of calling an unborn human a "baby" is thousands of years old, when a habit is proved to be a wrong thing, it does tend to be changed, eventually (1/3 of the US adult population used to be habitual smokers --but its a lot smaller fraction today).

Like I said; the difference between a baby and a fetus is one is wanted and one is not. When we talk abortion it is always a non-human fetus, with no human rights, we're killing. But in most states if a pregnant woman is killed the perp can be charged in the death of both mother and child; the child being considered human and with the right to life. Then it's a baby because it was wanted and will be missed. So the law agrees with my definition, not yours.

Ah...where is that in the dictionary?

You made that up.
