[quote=Anonymous]What I am saying if I, as a woman, voluntarily engage in a behavior (in this case sex) where I have 100% of the rights and 100% of the risks, then I should be 100% responsible for protecting myself.

It is immature to say that a man should make sure I do not get pregnant when I voluntarily have sex with him

If it is my body and my choice, and the man has zero say in any outcome, then birth control is my responsibility.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 10:01 (my quote function isn't working)

We can all agree that a woman has a 50% responsibility for putting the parasite in her body and a 100% responsibility for hosting the parasite in her body.  She also legally has 100% rights determining whether or not she will have the parasite removed from her body.

Although a man has 50% of the reponsibily for putting the parasite in the woman's body, he has 0% responsibility for hosting the parasite and 0% rights to determining if the parasite remains or is removed from the woman's body.

So in my opinion, if he legally has no rights to the parasite, then in the case of removing the parasite he has absolutely no responsibilities, unless he forcibly put this parasite in the woman's body (through rape or incest).

As a result, I have competely left him out of my post above.  He is irrelevant to this discussion.

[b]One can't say in one breath that a man is 50% responsible, and in the next breath that he has 0% say in what happens to the parasite.  [/b]
If you think a fetus is a parasite over which the father has no input regarding its status, than the sperm donor is not worth discussing in this debate.[/quote]

Nature made the decision about the man's role and responsibility in reproduction.  The man's opportunity for "a say" is when he chooses to leave his genetic material in a vagina, or not.  If he does not want to be responsible for supporting offspring, or if he wants to be sure to prevent abortion, he should absolutely ensure that he takes his sperm with him when he is done (i.e. used condom).  Better yet, vasectomy, monogomy or abstinence are obvioulsy better insurance for him to avoid these pitfalls.

If he mistakenly leaves his sperm in a woman, yes he is shit out of luck.  Because only she can decide whether or not to terminate.  But if a child is the result of the sex act, he has to take responsibility for his role.

It's simply biology.  And yes, I realize that the inequity in power here - the woman has all the say, all the control, all the power - must really piss men off.[/quote][/quote]
