I would also like to point out that those of you who say pregnancy is a medical concern must also be aware that abortion can be devastating to the body and the soul. Yes?
No more devastating than being forced to carry through with a pregnancy. Good Lord. I had an abortion, many years ago...and I thank GOD that it was an option for me then. Absolutely the best decision for me. No regrets, no remorse, no devastation.
No, not really. The fact is you are dealing with a decision making process that occurs after the sex has occurred. Up until there is a pregnancy it is all a contingency. The question then is who gets the tie breaking vote among two people. The answer is the person with the greatest interest.
Ohh, Ohhh...let me play this game too...I love games.
AND...if you father a child and you opt for an abortion, then YOU have to have a vasectomy (on your own dime) so you don't make that mistake twice.
Yes! I offered this one earlier.

That is all there is too it. I don't think a reasonable argument can be made that any person has a greater interest in the pregnancy then the woman, this is clear from the bodily health implications of pregnancy...thus the pregnant woman is the tie breaker.
Yes. It appears we have some loud irresponsible folks in this thread. I suggested alternatives which include either parents having veto rights... but that was turned down.
I'm honest though when I say that I don't think there is ever going to be a completely fair solution to this issue. There is no even playing field. And to be honest - as hard as it was, as painful as it was, as much as I'd LOVE my old body back - I feel so lucky that I got to carry my son and give birth to him. I wouldn't change a thing. And like I said before - I'm so glad that I was never in a situation where I had to decide what to do about an unplanned pregnancy. I had a couple of scares - and my boyfriend at the time and I talked about what we would do. But like I said - I've been very selective with who I've chosen to have sex with.
What are most women good for other than sex? Take away the sex and nothing is left.
Are you kidding? Name one thing you do in your life that is useful, that holds any kind of value. 2:1 not one of the men in this conversation does anything that will impact the human community in any way. The vast majority of women I know are movers and shakers. They impact in real ways through outreach, science, medicine. They're amazing. You guys are not.
