There is no way in a million years that any government should have control on who or who cannot have children.

Especially not on such vague definitions as financial, mental and physical reasons.

The ability to procreate is about as fundamental a human right as you can get, and this right should never be compromised in any way ( least of all, by governments ! ).

I'm sorry, I responded to your Ignorance, but I guess you were not able to Read it.


Are you Insulting Me DIRECTLY *AS YOUR POST*?

OR was there an ACTUAL POINT OF DISCUSSION in your post?

Oh, I get it.... you are under the impression that your question is mature, or relevant, or "Cutting" or something along the lines....

Here, Let me spell this out for you:

Hard core feminists are probably frigid
women who couldn't keep a man happy.

That's ok if you do not want to answer my question. Deflection is the weak man's game after all.

Are you going to Explain what you mean by "Fantasy Island"?

OR are you going to continue to Deflect?

I tend to find that they have trouble even getting a man in the first place !

That's where the bitterness stems from.

You think they should share 50/50 cost? Perhaps better the man pays 100% since the woman is going through the procedure and every medial procedure has it's risks. That's 100% of medical costs UP FRONT and in advance paid in full to the medical centre or hospital.

Feminists are not doing themselves too many favours in this thread. When you continually use phrases like "strong women" and "weak men", you are kind of suggesting that the average women isn't strong and the average man isn't weak. So what does this imply?

That would be ok, if we were not talking about equality here. No one can help the inherent biological risks associated with pregnancy. I could very easily argue that it should be all on the female, since she is most subject to those risks and as such should be more responsible for the consequences of those risks. If I decide to do a dangerous activity, should I make someone else pay for my medical bills if that activity causes myself harm? I think not. I would rather it be equal. One extreme or the other is bad in my opinion.

Ghost didnt you know that is how gender feminists play their cards, they claim most women are weak and therefore need the added protections of the unequal protections put in place. But at the same time say that all women are strong. Classic double talk. If all women were strong as they claim then those protections would not need to be in place.

If the man pays 100% for the procedure since the woman is actually the one risking it then I would think that's about fair and square. Fact is my friend.....a majority of young men don't hang around when informed of a pregnancy; he bolts like lightening.

You want equality of the sexes?

Try paying women the exact pay as her male counterpart in the same job and let's stamp out sexual harrassment in the work place....perhaps in another 100 years?

What?
I sincerely do not understand why the ability to procreate should somehow be a right, enlighten me. It should be a privilege, granted only to those that are ready - financialy, mentally and physically.

Human right to grow up in good conditions is far more important than this so-called "right" to procreate you speak of. You are completely disregarding the rights of the baby!


For example, chinese government does regulate procreation very succesfully, and the rest of the world should implement something similar, IMHO.

Parents with a better education and financial standing does'nt automatically make them better parents. Parents from a working class foundation in fact are superior parents AND their children are higher achievers and well rounded kids than their counterparts from, shall we say, those of higher standing in society. Those from single parent families are at greater risk of life long failure however they are among largest portion of the highest achievers of any two parent families - I call these the Xtrem kids.

So going by your comment, parents who can't afford kids should'nt have them?

People start businesses to make money,not to lose money,if women in general could do the same work as a man for less pay,then only women would be employed.

Heck I`ve been payed more than other men in the same job and I`m no lone ranger there.

If your a woman that is as good or better than a man at your job and your boss does not reward you for it,you have a very stupid boss,get another job where you are paid for your abilities.

Trouble is some people get their fantasies and abilities mixed up.
