"It's my body..." but it takes TWO(2) to make a baby.... (parties, laws)

Nor does it change the fact that the pregnancy is the responsibility of both the woman and the man. Or that that responsibility for deciding the fate of the baby they created.

the real fact is, is that the woman alone carries the fetus for nine months, not the man. So the decision is hers, and hers alone ultimately.

When a man can shoulder the responsibility of doing all the work and taking all the health risks, they can make the decision together. Until then, it's up to the woman. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

So in your opinion the man should just butt out? As mentioned earlier life isn't fair. Women are the ones nature decided to carry the children. So the fathers should just leave and have no say in your opinion and then folks wonder why men leave pregnant women alone all the time and run off. Well because you are telling them to do that very thing. lol

Any questions?

No, you're not.
Like it or not, I'm not bound by anyone else's wants if what I'm doing is legal.

The woman also allowed that to happen.

You oddly left out the case of torn condoms...why is that?

The woman also has that option.

That kind of making fun?

Exactly!! You are quite the sneaky one. Tough to get things by you that's for sure.

Then she should be willing to release the father from all financial responsibility since it is her choice and hers alone.

Life isn't fair. It would be great if for every pregnancy there was a responsible man and woman making an informed decision with the best interest of the 'potential' baby in mind. It just doesn't happen that way and in those cases, it should be the woman's decision over the man's, because, ultimately, she bears more of the consequences associated with following through with the birth.

What? You think she raped him? Or that the hypothetical man didn't know he could get her pregnant. He has a choice....
