I agree with you that both the mother and father should have a say on what they believe is the right thing to do with the fetus. Although Why should women be forced into having an unwanted child, just because the father wants to have it. The childs upbringing is at risk when this is the case, the mother may not be financially or emotionally able to take care of the child. And in the end why shouldnt the woman have freedom to choose and decide for herself what happens to HER body.

I totally agree with what you’re saying. I wish more people felt this way and took the time to express themselves. Keep up the great work.

I agree with Jason, and your update. If the woman wants an abortion and the man doesn’t and is willing to raise the child, the man has no rights. If the woman doesn’t want an abortion and the man does, the man has the right to pay child support for the next 18 years, or go to jail. It seems the best ‘choice’ would be that if its human, be it elderly, adult, child, infant, embryo, we don’t kill it. If we ‘choose’ to engage in adult play, we should live with the consequence of our actions.

A similar example would be the feminist lobby in favor of abortion choice, but in vocal opposition to a pharmacist’s right to choose whether he or she wishes to sell morning-after abortion pills. Choice is fine, so long as they agree with the choices of others.

See http://www.l4l.org/ This is the Libertarians For Life page.

I agree about NOW’s double standards. But that’s pretty typical for any member of either mainstream political ideaology.

I know you weren't trying to start a discussion of abortion, but that's a risk you take when mentioning it:-).

What I'd like to see is an open and honest discussion of the rights of the *father*. If a woman can kill my child with impunity, even if it's still inside her body, why can't I do the same? If she can force fatherhood on me (hypothetically), then why can't I force motherhood on her? She made her "choice" when she opted for insufficiently protected sex IMO.

One is forced to conclude that they assume that abortion necessarily _is_ the right choice.

Listen to these people for any length of time and it becomes painfully obvious that "choice" is literally nothing to them except a codeword for "abortion". In pregnancy, abortion is the only choice they respect, and in every other aspect of a woman's life, they don't even pay lip service to the concept of choice. Do it their way, or else you're Wrong(tm).

I sometimes think they actually don't know the meaning of the word "choice". Because if they do, then plastering it all over their slogans is awfully disingenuous.
