I cant help but think of a whiney two year old going "but I dont wanna!!!" when I read this woman's so called thought process. Up until this point I've always let abortion be a non issue for me. I felt that as a man, I was somehow less qualified than women to vote on the issue. But if even a small fraction of women that have abortions go through the same "me, me, me" decision making process, then I will feel pretty good about casting my vote next time elections come around. This woman simply wanted to have her cake and eat it too. There are so many ways she could have avoided becoming pregnant so she really have NO excuse.
The issue with the boyfriend brings up another point. When it comes to abortion, guy has zero legal say in the matter. "Its the woman's body". "Its the woman's life" and other phrases come to mind. But when you mention child support, the man instantly has atleast %50 of the responsibility. How can you have faith in laws that have such huge contradictions? In either case, the man is villified, almost as he tricked the woman into having sex with him and that its his fault she's pregnant. In abortion the attitude seems to be "this man got me pregnant, now I get to decide if i go through giving birth or not". And with child support the laws seem to reflect the attitude of "well I decided to have the kid, im going to make the guy pay big time." Im not saying I have anything against child support, but rather pointing out how both abortion and child support laws contradict each other when it comes to a man's responsibility in the birth of a child.
