[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mangled that quote, sorry. +1 was for the above poster, not the boob who thinks men who have unprotected sex shouldn't deal with the consequences.[/quote]

Sorry, but if women have a choice post-conception, so should men. [/quote]

Ridiculous.  You might as well rail at God over simple biology.

Men make their choice at the point of ejaculation.

If men give possession of their sperm to a third party, that party can do WHATEVER THEY WANT with it.  Including use it to make a human being.  Society has a vested interest in making sure that such human beings have adults who are responsible for their upbringing.  That is reality.

If you don't like it, don't leave your sperm laying around.  People are so quick to say women "should just keep their damn legs closed".  Why is it so difficult to adhere to the idea that men should keep their semen to themselves?

Women have a unique role with regard to the pregnancy.  The get stuck with it, they risk their lives in it, they have to endure all the pain of it.  They also have the right to end it, to govern what goes on inside their bodies.  That's just biology.  You don't like it, take it up with Mother Nature.

Personally I think we need to seriously consider criminalizing the distribution of sperm without a permit.  (sarcasm)[/quote]

You're confused, I'm a woman. But, I'm not so blinded by my femininity that I can't see when something is unfair.

Saying "it's biology, deal with it" is a faulty argument. Yes, we bear the brunt of the pregnancy, HOWEVER, we also make the decision to continue the pregnancy and face these possible consequences.

We will continue to disagree I'm sure, because I strongly believe that men should have a choice post-conception. Perhaps that would keep some women from using underhanded tricks to keep men when the relationship is fading (and yes it does happen).

If I date a guy and he gets me pregnant and makes it clear he won't be involved, I'd either terminate the pregnancy or continue and never have any dealings with him again (aside from him signing papers giving up his rights to the child).

I would keep his information so that my child can make a choice on whether or not to contact him at 18, but I would look on him as a parent who gave their child away for adoption. [/quote]
