Social norms change all the time.
If you would like to have sex for entertainment proposes only, then take the proper precautions. If those precautions do not work then take the responsibility.
I just don't see the maturity of aborting a child because you got entertained and the outcome wasn't what you wanted.

If your daughter, sister or wife was raped and became pregnant, how would men feel about the government forcing them to have the child ?

That unborn (child) is a new, additional problem to an already traumatized young woman. Abortion is a solution to that problem.

I'm tired of things like these. Women like to portray themselves as victims when they give birth. If its so traumatizing to have a child why have intercourse? If it so painful then why do it? Let me tell you. Its because of greed and selfishness. People can't wait can they? And I feel the most disgust for people who then abort the child they created because they couldn't wait long enough. I dont care if you were traumatized from giving birth. It was YOUR fault.
better yet, tie tubes or have her partner get vasectomy.

Wow... so let's say some girl in my family was raped... my personal feelings would be to take the morning after pill for sure, as well as getting a heavy check-up, depending on whether or not she wanted the child. As a matter of fact, I had to go with my girlfriend in times past to get the morning after pill once... shh!!
As far as abortions go, I believe there is a moment somewhere near the beginning of the third trimester where babies become self-aware. I am not religious, but I still think that killing sentient babies is kind of messed up.
My sister had a friend who got herself pregnant at a young age and hid it from her parents until she was about to give birth, and RIGHT THEN, decided she would get an abortion and needed transportation from my mom... there are issues with this, there really are.
When I used to be Episcopalian I approved of abortions more than I do now. That's my personal opinion. I hope it makes sense.
No to late-term abortions / killing babies, yes to morning after pill and contraceptives, that kind of thing.
Thanks for making a topic about man's perspective on abortion. I feel safe sharing my viewpoint here.edit on 23-8-2012 by darkbake because: (no reason given)
