It's so hard to take this seriously but at the same time this thread makes me ashamed to be a man. All I can see are other men here bitching about what is fair or not. I thought we were men. A real man doesn't hide from responsibility. Get over yourselves and realize that there are differences. Women are not there for our control.

People saying women have abortion as an option for emergency birth control are looking at abortion in a very rosy way. It's not that simple, it can have very serious side effects and cause a woman to be sterile for the rest of her life. Aside from that, it's a decision that can get people kicked out of their churches.

Hell if you are going to say that the woman can have an abortion, maybe the man should have had a vasectomy performed. That can be reversed sometimes if the man wants kids later.

The hypothetical situations are laughable. All these images of strung-out women malicously plotting to trick the man into having a baby so she can have some meal ticket. Sorry, but life isn't a soap opera. Seriously, how often does this happen?

Compare 'evil woman' conspiracy theory to the amount of unplanned pregnancies that just happen because of lack of birth control, improper use of birth control, or failure of birth control. Maybe I'm crazy but I'm pretty sure that these situations have to outweigh the 'evil woman' situation by at least 10,000:1.

It sucks that men can be taken advantage of but radically changing the laws to accomodate an extreme circumstance is never the right thing. The fact is that in virtually all circumstances both parties were consenting and both need to live with the consequences.

Look around at the country. How many kids are fucked up because they didn't have the guidance of both parents? When a man DECIDES TO BE A SCUMBAG and deserts his kid it forces the mother to work more and as a result, the kid doesn't even end up with one full-time parent. Giving men the right to be a scumbag and have no legal responsibility will do nothing but make the country worse.

If you aren't ready for a kid WEAR A FUCKING CONDOM. It's that fucking simple.

Be a man. Don't neglect to take preventative measures and then sit back and cry that you don't have control over someone else's body.
