But on some level it appears that you do seem to get the inherent problem with the situation with regards to the domestic laws. But your advice to your childen would seem to negate most of the need for abortion, no? Why be so gung ho for abortion if what you really think the problems is, is people not wanting to take responsibility for their actions
Still haven't made myself totally clear I guess. While I do agree that it is patently unfair to force someone to pay for a child he was tricked into conceiving, this to me is an issue separate from the issue of abortion. I advise my children to avoid unwanted pregnancy, of course. Either because my son would have no say over what the woman would do and my daughter, should she choose to have the child, could potentially be left to raise the child alone and without financial support.
I am "gung ho" (??) for abortion .. well gung ho for rights over my body for precisely that reason. I do not agree that upon conception the embryo is a person, or life. I also believe it is my right whether to continue a pregnancy in my body. I am not going to argue this point, it is solely my opinion and for use when making decisions about my body. I do not intend to get into a debate about that.
What you believe, or other women or men is yours and theirs to decide.
But as far as our exchanges on this post, I believe we are discussing 2 distinctly different topics ~ Abortion Rights and US Domestic Laws governing parental rights and responsibilities.
Enjoy the rest of your day BD!
