[QUOTE="greatkid809, post: 3273603, member: 147587"] Thread resurrection because I can't be bothered to make a new one Something I've pondered within the abortion debate is the rights men have with regards to pregnancies. I mentioned ages ago in this thread that I have a problem with the way a woman has complete control over whether a pregnancy is carried on or not (not something I object to) but men are essentially screwed: If we want to keep the baby but the woman doesn't she has the right to terminate it. At an extreme level I guess there's a discussion to be had about whether a woman going through 9 months of pregnancy is worse than a life time of regret for a bloke? Anyway, the other issue is that if a man makes clear he has no interest in having a child but the woman ignores him and births the kid, then the male is forced into paying child support. That is something I have a considerable problem with but I've been struggling to word it into a decent point. So I gave up and went to the internet. I found this relatively recent article http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/12/is-forced-fatherhood-fair/ that does a pretty good job of putting my opposition to it into words and I wanted to get some opinions on it [/QUOTE]
