Should women not be allowed to abort since they should have thought about that b!


Question: Should women not be allowed to abort since they should have thought about that before having sex?
Not talking about rape or incest here. I'm talking about 2 people engaging in consentual sex. Argument for the man to have to pay child support is: He should have said no, worn a condom, had a vasectomy. Argument for the woman is she gets the choice to abort or not.

So since men should have thought about it during the sex part, shouldn't women ahev thought about it then too? Or do they just know they have the safety net of an abortion, Plan B and/or 18 years of child support so they can go right on ahead.

And anyone who has been on this board long enough has seen the umpteen we had unprotected sex, am I pregnant questions. It's clearly not entering into a great number of minds.

Before you get your knickers in a twist about her body her choice actually think about the question here. Why does the point of responsibility differ between men and women? And should it?

Answers:

If it's not rape, then yes I think they should not abort the child. They chose to have it.



They should both take responsibility I agree but at the end of the day you can't force somebody to have a child if they don't want to.



yes. killing a baby because one did not want to have sex planning on a child. having no-strings attached sex always has strings.



Abortion is legal, if you don't like it then don't have one but don't put your crazy ideas on us normal people. My body my choice.



This is a very good point of discussion, I think.

I myself feel that abortion is a necessary evil, in that it should be available for those in difficult situations who NEED it.

I am inclined to agree with you that someone with the education and maturity to decide about sex and who doesn't opt for safe sex should get what's coming to them. There is the responsibility thing here too, for both men and women, even in the heat of the moment. Abortion as a woman's sole means of birth control is ... not right.

But banning it altogether is not right either, as there are so many other women who find themselves pregnant as a result of rape, or a burst condom, or a birth control pill that didn't work as it should. These women should have the choice.



Would you care to stand -up and explain to the class exactly how you plan to do that ?
In the name of decency , morality , love and respect for the innocent life that is inside of that young woman's body , Do you plan to lock her into an observation room wearing only a hospital gown and then secure her to her bed w/ 4 point restraints for the duration of her pregnancy so that she is rendered incapable of harming either her fetus or herself ?
We're all looking forward to reading your answer.
Have a nice day



If you had been the child who had a father that did not want him, then you would know the answer to that. Abortion is far better than to be hated by one or both parents.

Had I been your father, and your mother would not have had an abortion, I would have hated you every two weeks when my paycheck came (sans the child support installment). I would have been pretty mean to you. I was smart enough to get a vasectomy so that sort of thing never happened. But most guys are not that smart. They have children, and they regret having them.



Women should be allowed to abort, in my view.
Everyone should be responsible enough to think about the possible consequences of having sex. In an ideal world, that means no one would ever need an abortion.

But this is not an ideal world and people mess up. Also, birth control fails. That is why we need legal abortion: as a safety belt, in case we have that car crash that no one wants or plans for.

Most women do think about it before they have sex. Otherwise, no one would bother to use birth control, and most people (especially women) do.
Abortion hurts, in several ways. It's also expensive. Most women don't have them for fun, they have them because they're desperate.

It's still her body and her choice, and my knickers remain untwisted. I just think that forcing someone to bear a child that no one wants is a horrible thing to do. More so than having an abortion, which is also a very sad thing, and best avoided altogether.
At least an abortion saves the mother from carrying an unwanted child to term and then being forced to either raise it or give it up for adoption, which is no bed of roses either (and often comes down to children being juggled from one foster home to another).

And it saves children to be born to parents who don't want them. That's a fate that no one deserves. All those carrying on about 'the innocent babies that should not be made to suffer the consequences of their parents' irresponsibility' usually conveniently forget that.
Just think about it... I can't imagine what it's like when you realise that you were only born because people thought that your parents needed to be made to suffer the consequences of their actions... in other words, you! Imagine being a punishment for your parents having sex.

Even if you don't care about the mothers, let's at least try to care bout the children after they're born. Not just the fetuses.

The responsibility differs between men and women because of biological factors, which we cannot change.
