So, you think a man should be able to force a woman he got pregnant to have an abortion?

Yes, I believe in choice in all circumstances.

Only a woman and her family and her medical providers should be allowed to decide to terminate a pregnancy.

It is no one else's business IMO.

Please note that personally I would not have an abortion unless my life was in danger as a result of continuing a pregnancy, but because I've had children and have had difficult pregnancies, it put the fact that pregnancy in and of itself is a condition that is very hard on the person carrying the child and she bears the burden of enduring that hardship so should have the final say.

IMO living, breathing, thinking women, are more valuable than fetuses. They are "life" instead of "potential life" and so I respect all women's reasons and decisions for wanting to terminate a pregnancy. It is their life and they should do what they feel is best for their lives.

While I'm not "Skeddy" I'd answer no, certainly not BUT he should have the right to not be responsible for the life of said child should the woman decide to keep it vs the other alternatives. 1/2 the medical costs of said birth would be fair...

How many would if they could?


Lots, I'll bet.

Aborting a fetus that is capable of living outside of the womb is infanticide, ok? Otherwise known as homicide. Your first link involves a doctor losing his license and probably facing criminal penalties for killing a baby that was born alive.

Your second link is about Canada, as far as I know be don't follow Canadian law.

And posting crap from "liveaction". Good God. There is no indication that the fetus was aborted or that Planned Parenthood had anything to do with it, it could be a miscarried fetus for all you know. Liveaction pulls that crap all the time. They also had a video with a woman holding a 19 week old fetus claiming it was aborted, they pulled it when the mother saw it and said that she had miscarried and that the baby was not aborted.

A heartbeat is not a determination of when a fetal viability. An 8 week old fetus the size of a raspberry has a heartbeat.

Should they be allowed to kill their grown children? Should the government be allowed to strap a grown child to an electrric chair?

No. They shouldn't be allowed to have the choice.


In a nutshell they scream "stay out of my sex life and bedroom" but also scream "pay for my mistakes".

Should we continue with false equivalencies?

What is with this relentless notion that allowing something = paying for others to have it?

By that logic, I want to ban all pregnancies in case parents expect society to foot the bill.

Actually, ban everything. That way moochers can't ask for anything at all.
