re: Reproductive Rights Discussion - Men get a raw deal

If women can walk away from being a mother with a unilateral abortion I want a similar process for men without requiring female permission.

I'll try to be more clear in MY position. Note: I am not claiming I have the "correct" one. Just mine.


1) Two attractive young people are walking around and do not know one another.

Now, She can give her egg to someone or let it pass unfertilized and flush it down the toilet

He can give his sperm to anyone or just spill it in the shower.

2) They meet by chance and have sex ending in fertilization.

Now, She has a "tissue mass" in her. She can decide to keep it or have it removed. She owes nothing to the "mass". Nor, does she owe the dude visitation rights to the mass.

He has nothing in him and owes her NOTHING at this point.

3) She decides to give birth. NOW, both owe something to that child. SHE owes that child support AND owes the dude visitation rights to said child. She owes him some duty in decisions about that child

He owes support to that child.





So, UNTIL the child is born....NEITHER owes anything. Once that child is born...they BOTH have a legal obligation to it.

There is no inequality here.
