Why I Am Pro-Life

[ITChick]

It's not about being generous; it is what I view as fair and just. It isn't a popular opinion, I grant you that. The good news is most men would take responsibility for whatever children they bear, and by law they are also required to provide financial assistance for their children whether they want them or not. It's funny how these women are crying out about women's rights to their personal autonomy, but if a man impregnates a woman and she chooses to have the child, he has no say. So where are his rights? He doesn't have any. So I think that if a man accidentally impregnates a woman, he should not be obligated to provide support for it.

Thanks for expanding a bit on your statement. I do think it is unfair that guys are forced to pay if a woman decides to keep a child and they do not want to. It is a bit more tricky if the guy wants to keep it and the woman does not. In that case I would say that the person who will be affected the most has the decision (the woman).

Don't run! I have cookies! COOKIES AND CATS, LOTS OF CATS!?!?!!

I do like cookies! *crawls forward cautiously*.

I never said 'should'. For christ sake what have I said already? Read maybe? I said that the choice should be there. But the ethical implications should be considered. Since I disagree with the notion that human life does not begin at conception, it stands to reason that a woman should take every precaution to not get pregnant unless pregnancy is her end goal in mind.

I'm not imposing my will on others. Where have I said that abortion should be illegal? Find me the quote and I'll concede.

Ok, I can respect that. You think that they should keep it, but won't enforce it on anyone. We are all allowed to have our own opinion.

Out of interest though: would this make a difference in who you vote for? (In other words, would you vote for someone who stands against abortion and will make it illegal)

Edit: fixed some of the spelling mistakes. Stupid fat fingers!
