That women can choose wheter to have sex and whether to use birth control and, therefore, don't need abortion rights? Would you agree with that assessment? Why or why not?That claim would be erroneous because a woman does not always have a choice about whether she becomes pregnant. Sometimes she is raped, for example. In any case, pregnancy entails a 9-month sentence, an incredible burden, and anyone experiencing it should reasonably be able to terminate it.
Have you ever dealt with family courts? I have. He shouldn't be able to tell her she has to have an abortion, but he should be able to decide whether or not he wants to be involved in the childs life. Instead, family courts find him and force him to pay child support for the next 18 years, whther he wants to or not.
Why shouldn't he be financially responsible as long as the child is a minor if he chooses to get a girl pregnant?
