And thats the crux of it right there. You have summed almost the whole argument in that very last sentence.

The problem isnt when its used as a viable solution, its when its used SOLEY as a destructive practice that is the real issue with abortion. Sadly, too many use is only as the latter.

Even when viable however it is still a horrible decision to have to make and the repercussions are long ranging.

So what kind of risk would you give abortion? Is it only an option when life is at risk or is it an option whenever you just decide pregnancy just doesn't fit you? Either it is a viable solution with minimal risk or it is a destructive practice....

So, the option for a man to decide he wants the child after birth but the mother does not - her body is changed [at the very least], and childbirth could kill her.

The decision process IS skewed. I didn't say it was fair, or that it should or should not be a certain way. All I know is my own personal experience - both through an abortion and raising children. *shrug* YMMV

As far as the mental, Im not denying a man wont have mental ramifications, I am simply stating they will (typically unless she's a callous whore who uses it as birth control) be NOWHERE near what a woman will go through.

Why does she have to be a callous whore to use it as birth control? You don't have to be a callous whore for it to be a viable option. This is where that train of thought turns to that which belongs in the war room. It isn't a viable option if you feel that way.



This should be more accepted by women, this would reveal if the person you fucked is a douche or not. Do you really want to have a child or be with a man that will run from a pregnancy? Do you really think the relationship will be a good one?

Think of all the needless marriages that end in ugliness that would be saved by allowing the man to run and make your decision to terminate the pregnancy easier and spare all the pain that comes with all these fucked up situations.

A lot of women complain about all these dicks they have relationships and children with, well guess what, here is an opportunity to spare that.

One issue regarding pay equity is frequently glossed over in surveys and studies; pregnancy. When a woman takes maternal leave, she essentially puts her career development on hold. She's still technically employed by the company, in whatever capacity, but isn't rising through the ranks. While she may have been with the company for 10 years, two+ of those may well have been effectively eliminated by maternal leave. This impacts income, when compared to a man in the same job and with the same perceived seniority.

With the advent of "parental leave" this may change, but it's going to take decades more before anything like parity is possible.

Not in the US. They only get 6 weeks mat leave.
