[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So women that get pregnant but don’t want to be a parent can have an abortion, and their body, their choice. [b]No judgement[/b].

But if a man doesn’t want to be a parent but woman does and he financially supports, he is a total a-hole? Wow double standard [/quote]

In what universe? There's a large segment of the population that would indeed judge a woman for having an abortion. And they wouldn't just call her an "a-hole" they'd call her a murderer. [/quote]

If someone started a post saying would you date a woman that had an abortion from a ONS a decade ago? I doubt the overwhelming answers would be what a horrible person she must be, and no of course not [/quote]

The more apt comparison would be "would you date a woman who had a child after a ONS, left it with the father, and never sees it but pays for it", and I think most men would rightfully respond with "that's a lot of drama/that's freaking weird". [/quote]

Right.  But that wouldn’t happen bc a woman that doesn’t want to be a parent can abort [/quote]
 
can /= does[/quote]

But she has the choice.  A man doesn’t have that choice [/quote]

Yes he has the choice to not have sex, use birth control or get a vasectomy. Everyone is responsible for their own birth control.[/quote]

Women have those choices too and still end up with unexpected pregnancies.  The difference is women have the final say in if an unexpected pregnancy results in a baby.  Men have no say in the pregnancy outcome.  I’m not saying they should, just that it should be equally acceptable for men or women to not want to be parents.  This guy is doing the legally required minimum.  Not knowing any details, I wouldn’t judge him for not parenting just as I wouldn’t judge a woman that had an abortion or have her child up for adoption [/quote]

There’s a difference between “not judging” and “do I want to spend the rest of my life - and potentially have children - with this person”

You can be non-judge mental, but that doesn’t mean you have to date them. [/quote]
