Then put it up for adoption. This is also not a reason for a woman to be able to end the child's life. Should you decide the fate of a child, whether it should live or not? It is hard to say, but even poor children can be happy and deserve a chance. Again adoption is also an option. An affair? well that would be very sick to kill a child because of the actions of the morally bankrupt. You made the noble decision. I hope you don't speak this way in front of them though, it almost sounds like you regret it. Is birth control hard to obtain for some people? Because I have never had a problem finding protection when needed. Hence I've never had to make this decision. Obviously for me there would be no "decision". I don't quite understand what this means, is she dead? If she's alive, how do you know she's not happy? Do you wish she hadn't been born? The same thing is said to happen to those who abort. Why would she be depressed? The child might have a wonderful life. Her depression sounds selfish, just like abortion. Don't you think she'd be more depressed if she'd gotten an abortion? Now she at least can imagine all the great experiences her child is having. It is a lot of hard work and I wish you had their father around (or someone else, I'm assuming you're a single parent) to help out. I think the father is equally the parent. Yes, biologically the mother has more responsibility during the pregnancy, but still. My father loves me just as much as my mother does. I would love my child as much as her mother. How can you dismiss the love of a father for his child? I can't believe it. Unless you were raped, you have a choice about whether or not to become pregnant. I'm no religious psycho and I don't think abstinence is the only answer, but just use protection. It is not your body that is in question, it's the baby's.
well my confusion is more so when starving mothers try and give me there starving babies and i no legally i cant do a thing
I have read none of the posts but I am gonna have my say. I dont want my child to be aborted. I was part of thatdecision once and it really really hurt after the fact. I felt like a murderer for years after. I would not leave my lover/wife for getting one. I would not resent her for having one, but I would try and talk her out of it IF we as a couple could reasonable raise the child.sadly Finances would play a role. As with everything having to do with child rearing however, I respect that most decisions will be made by the mother and this is definitely one that no matter what I think, is hers alone. Now how would you feel about parents forcing their 13 year old daughter to get one?
what the fuck are you talking about? I'm not looking for a answer from any man to satisy me....duh...I think men that say they should have control of my body are wrong. point blank. I am very happy with one man....my dad rocks!!! dude...I wasn't addressing you. I was addressing jesuswasamonkey. your post popped up in the middle. Now you just told me to get therapy and you don't even know me and well, let's see.......NOBODY WAS FUCKING TALKING TO YOU!!!! "for the sake of my children"? Look bitch...you better choose somebody else's parenting to attack. I'm the best damn mother I know and here we are discussing some bs over the internet. And you feel you are able to say what is good for my children? Without knowing them or me? But you feel qualified to tell me what my life needs? Ladies and gentlemen....here is example #1 of a man that has no idea what is going on Self-important asswipe
if the man wants the baby and the woman doesn't, she should carry it to term and hand it over. i kinda take the issue personally, because my brother's situation. he and his wife determined that they wanted to have a baby, but about 3 months into it, while my brother was building a new room, she decided she didn't want it anymore and aborted. that was effectively the end of their marriage. well, the marriage wasn't in good shape anyway. but he was so hurt and confused. his baby had been murdered over a fight. however, my mother had to have 2 abortions for ectopic pregnancies. by sister-in-law had one because of terrible scarring she'd had from an operation to rid her uterus of cancerous cells. a neighbor had 3 while trying to carry a baby to term due to severe internal scarring from a horrific car accident. i do think the father should have a say, and more women should be more respectful of that, while still making their own decision. sure, a lot of men are relieved, but not all men are assholes. most of the ones i know are very good fathers. i guess it comes down to your reltaionship and what you think of the man. though i'd prefer that more women were more responsible in their birth control, because i've known too many who just said "i forgot the condom" or "i never was any good at taking the pill."
the question is should a man have the legal right to say "No you can't have an abortion" everybody knows that it should be talked about and agreed upon, but that doesn't always happen If a woman wants an abortion, should the man have the legal right to stop her?
shoulddnt she have a leagal obligation to get his consent? It might be her body, but that child is half him.
you know, honestly, i'd like to say yes. but there's always going to be some abusive asshole who's going to stop an abortion that the woman needs for her physcial safety or something. there's always some peckerhead blowing it for everyone else.
this is trickery playing on male stupity luckily for men there are more woman reading this post and voting
your asking men to vote themselves as stupid in there quest for power their arrogance and there stupidity they are voting against themselves
