[QUOTE=Glo;51771525]I like where you're goimg with this but I have some questions.
In this hypothetical, what solution would you propose for women who feel uncomfortable morally with having the fetus aborted but whose partner would like to be exempt from the pregancy? I'm prochoice myself but I would feel uncomfortable with leaving women in that situation to raise a child alone. Maybe some sort of [B]gov funded social program? [/B]
Also, would you agree that if both parties agree to the abortion then the cost should be split evenly between the two?[/QUOTE]
Bingo!
If we had something like this, cases like you describe would be a lot less difficult. Not to mention single parents in general would get loads more support and perhaps the stigma of it would be significantly less damaging.
But. Y'know.
This is wishful thinking, all things considered.
[QUOTE=Crumpet;51770245]yeah it is her pussy so unlucky dude. when you have to carry a baby for 40 weeks then you can decide what happens to it. also, you totally moved the goalposts and those situations are totally different. you highlight an unfortunate situation but to strip someone of dominion over their body to satisfy an unlikely problem is not ok. there is a judicial system for a reason.[/QUOTE]
Are you actually breathing? This is incredibly common and the underlying principle of the ghetto and welfare culture.
[QUOTE=Mechanical43;51770933]this post demonstrate a quite scary logic and seeing as how much fp seem to star it makes it way scarier.
a women should always have control of her body. people saying otherwise can't even begin to claim they are for any freedom if they hypocritically refuse BASIC self determination.
in a perfect system, I envision that the man could, before some authority, a court maybe, relinquish all parenting rights before the limits for abortion and in that way he's freed of a burden he didn't want.
but never ever ever should he be able to trap a women into being a baby making machine for him, so if he want to keep it but the woman says no, well just too bad it's game over and you have SHIT to say.[/QUOTE]

Eeh, if the religious convictions of a man aren't a valid argument for his partner to keep the child to term against her will then I don't really see why a woman having religious convictions should be a valid argument for her partner to be the child's legal parent against his will.
Abortion being legal implies that it isn't morally wrong to do in the eye of the law, so I'd say asserting the contrary shouldn't grant a person privileges and punish those who agree with the law's statement.
Besides, it would completely defeat the point of men having a choice over being a parent in the first place. A woman who wants to have the child but also wants their partner to be the father would simply have to say that they don't want the child but morally object to aborting it.
So yeah, government benefits I'd say, but that should apply to every single-parent family in the first place.

Sure. It should be reimbursed by healthcare anyway.
