Financial Abortion Explained - YouTube

You would be hard pressed to find a more strongly pre-loaded politically unpopular phrase then 'financial abortion'.

And lets be clear - there is NO abortion of the child involved, and it's NOT a financial issue. It is a human rights issue, where a person elects to not become a father. Because it does not result in the termination of pregnancy isn't it more like a form or 'putting up for adoption' then it is like an abortion? Because fatherhood is so much more then writing checks, isn't this a social issue much more so then a financial one?

You call it financial and all the 99% hates it by default - and for no reason - it's not a wall street issue. You call it abortion and you invite all those one issue abortion ppl to weigh in on it. Let me note here that religious in particular often oppose abortion but fund adoption.

Call it what it is, 'legal parental surrender', 'male reproductive rights'

"financial abortion" is such a grotesquely loaded term that I can only assume it was thought up by feminists opposed to the idea.

Nobody in support of this concept can possibly think this term is anything but a bullet in the head of the movement.

I think he simplifies the issue and doesn't address a key feminist talking point.

Most feminists will see this video and simply respond: "the difference is that there is still a child when a financial abortion occurs."

What happens in the cases where a guy wants to have a child but then backs off later in the pregnancy? Is there a time limit for surrendering these parental rights?

While I do recognize that the biological father of a fetus has no legal right to decide whether the child shall be aborted or carried to term, and is thus at a real disadvantage, I think that a man's decision to have sex with a woman in the first place usually entails at least some possibility of the woman getting pregnant, and thus of at least some responsibility for assisting any children that result from such sex.

The only situations wherein the biological father of a child should be entirely let of the hook in terms of assisting with the support of that child would be if the male in question did not consensually have vaginal sex, i.e. he was raped-- or, more exotically, had his living sperm transferred either against his will, and/or outside of his knowledge, from a place outside of a woman's vagina (like a woman's mouth) into a woman's vagina.
