Because they both had part in the creation of that new life.
Quote:I mean... it sounds kind of stupid for a rapist to claim his right to 'the child' he 'helped' 'create'.
I never even discussed rape, do not muddy the waters here, it only distracts from the topic at hand.
The scenario is 2 people engaged in consented sexual intercourse and an unwanted pregnancy came out of that. That is a scenario were both parties were equal partners with equal blame to get themselves into.
Quote:The 'baby' is just a part of the woman's body for about 9 months, and is as much an entity as is my left ankle. To say that a 'father' has any right over the 'growing baby?' is no different than claiming rights over a woman's hand.
So you equate new life as a limb, and you don't even feel that that is a gross oversimplification of the facts?
