You are Pro-Life and say that if a woman has sex and gets pregnant you believe they have to take responsibility for that and give birth to that child.
But if a guy has sex and gets a girl pregnant they shouldn't have any responsibility for their actions?
A man should most definitely take responsibility for a child he fathers but it depends entirely on circumstance. If he took precautions himself to prevent any chance of pregnancy, yet the woman falls pregnant, I don't agree that he should have responsibility to it. As the way I see it, a woman is biologically geared for pregnancy, so it is her obligation to ensure pregnancy doesn't occur if it is not her will. And we have the means to prevent it so really there's no excuse.
Quote:Now of course I believe in a woman's right to make the choice to abort or not. She's the one that will be carrying the child to term. We can't help that. Nature isn't fair but these are the hands we are dealt. Woman's body, woman's choice. Guys have to man up and deal with her decision either way.
Why does a guy have to 'man up' in this instance but telling a woman to 'woman up' and take responsibility is sexist? You don't see the contradiction?
It is as simple as this. If you're not ready to assume responsibility for a child, take every precaution to prevent pregnancy, or don't have sex. This counts for men and women. If you fall pregnant because you or your partner didn't use enough protection, or none at all, then 'man' and 'woman' up about it for the sake of human life. Take responsibility for your actions.
