And abortion doesn't allow "people" to deal with the consequences of their actions. NO, what you mean is that it doesn't allow <i>women</i> to deal with the consequences of their actions. How convenient that none of you are holding men to that high standard.
A man can go around impregnating women - he walks away, she has an abortion - everybody is okay with him - just a youthful transgression. A woman makes a mistake, FORCE her to carry the kid, it was HER mistake, put HER through the trauma and forever-life-changing event of pregnancy and birth. Make her accountable. What kind of sick bastard would want to force a 14 or 15 year old girl to carry a child just to teach her a lesson?!?

I don't buy that for a minute. The man is every bit as responsible for the child as the women is. You're the one who's not holding men to the high standard by saying they have no responsibility in the pregnancy or raising the child. You can't have it both ways, either they are responsible and have a say, or they do not. Maybe women should start looking for a man who wants to get married and raise a family instead of someone who's just looking for sex. I almost get the sense from your post that you hooked up with a dead beat and now have some kind of hatred for men period.
It takes two for the pregnancy to happen. Likewise, both parents have the duty to raise the child.
