wow, i'm kind of surprised by the results. i didn't think that the votes would swing the way they are right now. this is something that i have tried to resolve in my mind for quite a while, and as of yet, i haven't been able to come up with a clear decision. in an ideal world, which this world is VERY far from, two people would be able to work something out so that if the woman didn't want to get an abortion, and the father did, then maybe they could resolve to not have the man be responsible for the child. but everybody is different, and there will never be a consensus, so someone usually ends up getting screwed, whether it's the mom, dad, or child. there is just a really slippery slope when trying to determine what the equal rights would be for a man under those circumstances. and honestly, until we can ensure that a woman will ALWAYS have the right to get an abortion, i think we are kind of getting ahead of ourselves.
