re: Reproductive Rights Discussion - Men get a raw deal

So you feel that a woman has the right to unilaterally kill a man's child?

No. I believe that a woman can decide to unilaterally terminate a pregnancy.

Also, if the woman wants an abortion and the man doesn't he should have to sign a binding agreement that he will take care of the child when born.

I would have no problem with this. But you need to define "take care of". I'm assuming you mean all financial as well as domiciliary support. I would also add in something about terminating the mother's parental rights or you're going to find yourself back in some of the same situations.

Don' misunderstand what I'm saying. I think that these things should be discussed PRIOR to any sexual contact. That decisions should be made and agreed to by both parties PRIOR to anything happening. But, if parties refuse to do so, then currently a woman has the right to terminate the pregnancy or not, and the man can be held accountable for support.

So, knowing the way things are, how many of you actually discuss these things with ALL of your sexual partners? If you don't discuss it and you don't make it very clear how you want things, then you are tacitly agreeing to give up your power and control to another party.
