This is something I've thought about on and off for a few weeks and figured I'd bounce it around here too.
When it comes to the abortion debate I agree with pro choice people about not agreeing with forcing a woman to carry a baby against her will since its her own body. Because of that I then have to accept that the choice to abort a baby or not rests with the mother, and should she want one and the father doesn't, the abortion goes ahead.
Now as far as I'm aware a father is legally obligated to support the mother financially. If I'm wrong on that then read no further and forget the thread exists
If I'm right and that is the case however then I have quite a problem with it. I don't agree with the "you had sex, deal with it" side of things and, personally, the financial implications of having a kid should be one of the big factors in deciding whether or not you keep a kid you accidentally ended up with. If you tell your partner you're pregnant and he makes clear he doesn't want to have a baby then you should factor that into your decision to keep or not.
I don't really get why people are forced to pay money for a baby they made clear they didn't want and was carried against their wishes?
