Reproductive rights for all.

Thank you for this. Once again this clearly shows how people have no qualms to use conservative arguments against men.

Had a long and fruitless discussion about this with my ex about this. All her arguments were about how difficult the choice of having an abortion could be for women, how they should have agency over their bodies etc. etc.

Not once did it occur to her what the impact of being forced to pay a large proportion of your income for 18 years for something you have no part in deciding was on men.

Consequences for men aren't aren't even a consideration for most people.

Bringing fatherless children to life by choice is child abuse. Men should have a right to abortion. This is then also a basic right of the child (although most people don't have the mental and moral capacity to appreciate it).

Fiancial abortion sounds like a great idea on paper. However, I do have two questions.

1) For those who support it, will this right extend to women as well? Remember that both the father AND the mother have to pay child support.

2) Will the child's financial future be secured?

Thanks for the repost!

I must say that I disagree. Having the right to an abortion is different from having the right to force someone to have an abortion, if that's what you're talking about. Whether men should be able to "opt out" of fatherhood (i.e., they do not have to pay child support but neither do they have to right to see the child) is a different question, but women should not be forced to have an abortion due to financial circumstances, either.

Let's face it: Men and women can never be 100% equal because our biology is different. Some things suck about being a woman; this is something that sucks about being a man, but I do not think we can do anything about it.
