re: Reproductive Rights Discussion - Men get a raw deal

fter some thoughts I began to realize that men get a raw deal about reproductive rights and I want it to change.

Consider that a couple with a physical relationship who are unexpectedly pregnant, the woman is the only one with power.

She can decide to have an abortion or sign up for an adoptive service without even a thought to what the father wants.

The man has no rights, he is obligated to honor her decision no matter what.

If she doesn't want to be a mother she has many options, an unwilling father has basically no ability to discharge his parental responsibilities the way he could if he had just been born a woman.

Therefore this system should change, men should have the right to discharge parental rights to the same extent that women can.

Unfortunately men have surrendered their parental rights in favor of getting a much better deal when it comes to being held responsible for the support of their children. If anywhere near the number of men were outraged over their baby's mama having an abortion or giving their child up for adoption as there were men who breathed a sigh of relief when either of these happened or the mother simply decided not to force them to support their child as a man should this would not be the case. Men get a much more favorable deal in all aspects of parental rights and responsibilities.......
