Of course, this all harkens back to the real point here, which is: conception is a two-person job. Equal cause, equal responsibility.

Because people keep bringing up "it a woman's body, it's her right etc." I think it is only natural to express concern from a pro-life point of view.
It is very much a part of the discussion and is highly relevant. People keep claiming, "what about the kid", but seem to have no problem with killing the kid.
As far as a father's responsibility? Well, that's between a rock and a hard place: I think men should be responsible for their actions but at the same time should also have rights. That's the tricky part. So far, I think the best idea thrown out here is the "legal abortion" (really needs a better term) option. Thus far it seems to be the most equitable and makes the most sense without trampling on anyone's rights.
