My late father had a big issue with both the mass marketing (and with it, the "dumbing down"), and the increased stridency within the advocacy for emancipation of women, which swung into high gear c.1970. His stock answer was "If a man can't be respected in his own home, why should he stick around?" Unfortunately for all of us, that argument seems to have resonated among a large segment of the male population.

For PRO CHOICE people, abortion is ONE of those responsible actions that can be chosen so as not to bring an unwanted child into this world. For PRO CHOICE people, adoption and actually keeping the child after some thought is responsible as well.

Your rhetoric is transparent.

They have no idea what personal responsibility on the front side actually means. These people disgust me.

I'm sure you'd be happy to be told by some unamed person how to cut your hair, what car you can drive and when, where you can or can't eat, whom you can and can't work for.

this happens. This happened to my cousin after 2 years of marriage. She got pregnant, husband was like "I don't want kids". he bailed. she had an abortion. they divorced and she has been single since. she's looking to adoption now.
Oh, yeah. I'm sure this is very common.

Definitely, but hey you don't even have to worry about it. you can go and have irresponsible sex, and just get an aboriton, no incentive for personal responsibility.

See. There you go. Someone who believes that having an abortion is an example of personal responsibility. But you'll never hear this person argue that the person should have taken precautions to NOT get pregnant in the first place.

An absolutely vile and disgusting ideology at it's core. And they have no shame in it.

respect to both partners makes for a happy union. respect isn't where the woman takes a back seat to life simply because she has a female parts

most pro choice folks advocate for birth control and education. pro choice people would like to see abortion rates drop just as much as anti choice folks. every pro choice person I know favors BC

That's a very mean and callous thing to say...no woman wants to go through an abortion, and for most I would think it would be a very agonizing and emotional ordeal....Some women actually DO believe that the man they fell in love and got pregnant with WAS going to stick around and help her support HIS/her child....but unfortunately for them, the man just walks away, and they are left to deal with the realities of having fallen for a smooth talking, and very selfish scoundrel..

Nor is it found where the man takes a back seat to a "new" set of rules formulated by a like-minded clique and marketed to the most impressionable and simplistic, in the name of expediency.

Where is Daddy? - YouTube#!

This brings in the spiritual part of being a man so if you aren't "spiritual" then just listen to the part of how men become strong by learning from other men.
