Men shouldn't have a say because they aren't the ones that have to carry the fetus around inside of them for nine months. They should not be required to fund abortions against their will, but they should have no say in paying child support. Anyone who fails to understand this extremely simple concept is a hopelessly closed-minded misogynistic virginfag, it's not difficult or confusing.

If she's gonna bitch about that she should have the abortion.
It's not meaningless when they disagree, clearly one isn't thinking logically and they should discuss it. If the woman doesn't want it an the man does, maybe one party sees something the other party doesn't. In any event the choice being just the woman's is an bout of economic retardation for the man.

Your viewpoint is completely fucked because you don't seem to understand how being single and raising a child isn't comparable to having to make a payment every month.

This is a discussion about what the law should be. We are not ruled by angels, and neither are men (humans) angels. That's why we need government, police, and military.

To postulate that the decision of whether to have an abortion should be left to consensus is equivalent to full on anarchy, which is unbelievably stupid. If you persist and defend anarchy, then you are an irredeemable idiot, and I have not much to say.

It's a simple enough proposition. I don't necessarily agree with it, but it's straightforward. He would claim that the mother can easily choose to put it up for adoption, and there's no moral reason to demand money from the father.

The success of the west is not capitalism. It's the humanist and secular values of the enlightenment, and the embrace of science.

The Islamic world used to be the center of learning in the world, up until something like 1300 when some Muslim asshat scholar said that science is the work of the devil. They - the Islamic world - hasn't recovered since. No important scientific discovery has come from the Islamic world in centuries.

>Guy wants the baby, woman don't, she aborts, no baby

I'd have to agree that this is unfair.

If both parents want the baby, both parents contribute
If neither parent wants the baby, they get an abortion
If only the father doesn't want the baby, he doesn't have to pay child support
If only the mother doesn't want the baby, she cannot get an abortion, and must give the child to the father.

Basically: both parents have to agree on the abortion, otherwise whoever wants the baby gets it. The father might have to compensate for the time off the mother must take to have the baby.

If however, they took precautions to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, only one has to request an abortion, and the mother will be forced to do so.

That would make the most sense to me. A bit harsh in some respects, but fair.

No, it's democratic process, I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion of anarchy.
You're implying that it's a discussion of law, it's strictly sociological at this point. To quote:
>how much of a say should men get about whether the girl they knocked up should or shouldnt get an abortion
It doesn't say "in court." It doesn't say "legally." It asks the question. That makes your first statement utterly retarded. Your second statement is fundamentally retarded, I suggest you brush up on social studies, maybe go to /soc/ where your kind dwells.

>> No.2964666

How am I biased? I'm a right-leaning single adult male, I was raised by stable married parents and I'm never going to be a single parent. I'm well aware that a corrupt legal system can result in injustice favoring women, that is not a good thing. It's just better than enacting legislation that is fundamentally unjust to try to prevent corruption. The reason abortions are legally justified is because a fetus is dependent on a woman's body to develop into a baby. There is no connection to a man's body here once the fetus is conceived. Therefore it is ludicrous to allow the father to dictate what happens in a woman's body. Child support is also a fundamentally socially necessary concept. Men are capable of choosing whether or not to use a condom. If the irresponsible choice is made, things are no longer in his control, and allowing him to demand an abortion is a gross violation of the woman's rights.

I assure you, I am not biased, I merely disagree with you. And I understood what your initial argument was, I just have no idea how what you said in the post I replied to was connected to that. If you disagree with the principle of child support, that's your opinion and you have a right to it, but using that opinion to justify gross injustices in the law such as forcing an abortion on a woman is ridiculous.

So then is what you are saying that people who can't come to an agreement shouldn't have sex? Do you believe casual sex and divorce should be illegal, then? If not, how does this relate to the debate about abortion rights? The legal framework for this is only because people who shouldn't have unprotected sex, no one is disagreeing that this shouldn't happen but given that it does we must try to find the best solution.

This would cause a shitstorm of trouble. Any womanizer who accidentally gets someone pregnant would then just easily be able to say he didn't want it and not have to be responsible for it. A lot of you are assuming that most people who think about abortions are people in healthy, normal relationships.

Okay, I don't think anyone is going to disagree that people shouldn't have unprotected sex if they aren't ready to deal with the consequences and that ideally they should come to an agreement on the abortion issue, the debate in this thread was centering around the legal nuances of this situation though which I guess was why I didn't understand your earlier post (didn't see this until after I replied).

I understand that the mother is responsible for the fetus' development. And knowing that you're a male doesn't really affect how I view your bias.
Your bias is that all procreation is purposeful and desired.
Even wearing a condom you can have slip-ups. In those events (I understand the abstinence arguement, but it's pants-on-head retarded) there is likely a disagreement on the birth of the child. It's a 50-50 process, with a 50-50 choice to end said process. That said, the "bodily connection" is genetic/paternal, ask your dad if he feels a connection to you when you're away, he'll likely call you a faggot, but say yes.
>also:
The concept of "carrying it" doesn't come into play until well after the point that it's legal to abort the child.

>> No.2964719

If the mother intended to have the child, and as a result didn't take any of the necessary precautions to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, she should have to live with her decision.

If she took the necessary precautions and somehow still got pregnant, the father should be able to force her to get an abortion.

Why? If they were sleeping around unprotected, the father cannot force the woman to get an abortion. They must both agree.

If the woman wants the kid and the man doesn't, the man should not be forced to pay for it. Woman's choice, woman's consequences.

Why is it okay to be unfair to the mother?

>they both made a decision before sex that they did not want the child
No. If you have sex, you accept that a child is a possibility. Before having sex, you are told "this may result in a child." You then choose to have sex. That you don't want to have a child is irrelevant. (This is often a line used by pro-lifers, I know. I am not one of them.)

You said it yourself, they both choose to have sex, so shouldn't they both choose to abort it or not?

They did both choose to have sex, yes. But keeping the baby is an entirely different issue.

When I factor in who has to carry it.

>You said it yourself, they both choose to have sex, so shouldn't they both choose to abort it or not?

That'd be nice, but in the end, the abortion either occurs or it doesn't. If they disagree, only one person really gets their way, so no, they can't both make the choice. It's impossible.

>Why should the man be held responsible for a baby he doesn't want, that the woman could abort?

Because he chose to have sex despite knowing what could've happened. If a woman doesn't want to have an abortion or give up her child for adoption, and both the male and female agreed to the sex, then the male puts the female in a very unfair position by not contributing for the child in any way. In short, no, you can't fuck someone, put them in a terrible position, and walk off guilt free. Deal with it.

I'll admit that this is not an issue I'm concrete on. I've been formulating an opinion on it for... Years. It just never gets any of my thoughts because I hardly ever debate abortion anymore.

>They did both choose to have sex, yes. But keeping the baby is an entirely different issue.

An issue you should've discussed with her. Didn't take that precaution? Deal with the consequence.

(This is coming from someone who got a pro-lifer pregnant. Stupid period of my life. I never considered leaving her. She ended up changing her outlook on life and had the abortion.)
