optimism is not your forte --- too much doom and gloom.

Can't rep you again ... for the other one a few pages back.
For everything else including guns we're to act responsible, I guess sex gets a pass.
I was taught responsibility at a very young age and paid attention to the consequences of not paying attention to it. I also paid attention in health class and understood the consequences of unprotected sex. It’s so easy to take precautions to not put oneself in an unwanted situation. It’s quite amazing how folks so fight and ignore taking responsibility and precautions of unwanted pregnancy, especially those that insist only the man should be responsible when women are the only ones that can get pregnant
Also - what about stiffer penalties, against mothers if they don't tell the father and leave him out of the decision - does he not get any say? Or rape charges if the guy is underage and the girl is not - why do you think it only goes one way?
I didn't say there shouldn't be penalties if the woman withholds that information. Does he get any say - I don't know. I guess that would have to be handled state by state also.
Rape charges: it does not only work one way. But the woman already has to have physical repercussions, so I would think repercussions would be forced on the man, too. It does take two.
Thank you for attempting to answer the questions. It is appreciated.
I did answer it. You just didn’t like the answer, and any woman that wants to have an abortion can go to a state that has legal abortion. Nobody’s stopping them.
No, you didn't.
Why not ?
What specifically is moral to you may be a yes or no question to you, but not to others who don't share your beliefs.
Whether you think a woman should be forced to birth her rapist's baby isn't that type of question. It isn't philosophical. Each step is a digital/one way or another reality. A woman has either been raped, or she hasn't. Subsequently, she's either pregnant from that, or she isn't. If she is, she either decides she wants to carry the result of the rape fetus to term, or she decides she wants to abort. If she decides to abort, she's either allowed to, or she isn't. Your initial deflection indicates that you would support forcing the woman to carry her rapist's fetus to term and give birth.
I'd love to hear from anyone who wants to reply to the topic. This is about children already born. Other off-topic ventures have been covered many times in other threads. Please see post #1 for my questions. Thanks!
Is it the tiny little person's fault? Adoption is always a solution to an unwanted pregnancy. I was given up. I'm glad she didn't choose the coat hanger.
If the woman has been raped, the pregnancy isn't her fault.

Sure I did…and She’s allowed to abort or not. Plenty of states where abortion will be legal. Also a great case for the ability to carry firearms.
