i also think that government prohibition of abortion only causes tragedy, though i believe the same about drugs

but i do think that abortion is a despicable act of ending an innocent life, and i hold that value separate from whatever cause there may be to allow and perform abortions. that is, i won’t lie about my feelings about ending a fetal life simply because i see a need to decriminalize the act

also, as a man, if a woman and i accidentally start a pregnancy, that pregnancy is then out of my hands, and i can be held financially accountable, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in my lifetime for it

so i can sympathize with women who say that one small, impulsive, natural act can ruin their life

and i can understand wanting the power to reverse it, i wish i had the assurance that a simple mistake can never affect my future in serious ways (though i would never want to abort)

but that’s why i never do have unprotected sex, and i recognize that in a vast majority of unplanned pregnancies, someone has decided to do something irresponsible. i’ve considered this thoroughly because of the risks in my own life, which i can’t control beyond exercising self control in the first place, because i’m a man

if anything, it would be “fair” if fathers could force an abortion, but obviously that would be brutal and invasive, not a reasonable solution

i believe that men shouldn’t be required to pay child support by default, though

it is the woman’s body, it’s a physical fact that government intervention is only going to do harm, and therefore we have no choice but to let the woman decide

but therefore, i think we need to leave parental responsibility up to the woman, unless the man agrees on paper to provide support

this way no one has to worry about a simple sexual mistake having profound consequences

that is, where pregnancy is concerned. any man or woman risking unplanned pregnancies may also be risking contracting a fatal STD

SO ANGRY!

Roe v. Wade sheds light on how unconstitutional this debacle is, however; it doesn’t mean that anti-choice legislators lack the ability to push through this kind of policy initiative.

I think your depiction of feminists, particularly women, as crie babies, is extremely problematic. It plays into a really bad sexist stereotype that women are overly emotional and incapable of “rational” thinking. Women have a right to be complaining; for real. Being complacent with the way women are valued in the status quo, is just unacceptable.

I don’t think your going to get anywhere in convincing people by calling them whiny, immature, murderers. And depicting them as childish and having no credible argument for why women’s choices and autonomy should matter, is further proof of the undeniable misogyny barried in the anti-choice argument. Not to mention the blatant contradictions. Republicans who are staunch anti-choice advocates suddenly make an exception for men who make the decision to terminate a pregnancy.
