So, are you saying that abortion should only be legal in cases of rape?
Quote: In any case, pregnancy entails a 9-month sentence, an incredible burden, and anyone experiencing it should reasonably be able to terminate it.
Why shouldn't he be financially responsible as long as the child is a minor if he chooses to get a girl pregnant?
Yes, a baby is an incredible burden. Not just the pregnancy, but raising the child as well. Which is why, as you put it, anyone experiencing it should reasonably be able to terminate it. But that option is only available for one sex.
And, no, he doesn't always get an option about whether or not he got pregnant. Sometimes birth control fails; sometimes she lies about birth control. Sometimes they just get so stinking drunk or high that they don't even think about those things.
Me, I say men should have more options about this. This story went into more detail about what I'm talking about.... and, to get back on topic, I NEVER hear feminists talk about this.
