My Sperm... My Choice, too? Please?!

I love Roe vs. Wade. It was one of the huge liberal victories and was possibly one of the most important occurrences in the entire women's rights movement. I would never ask that it be overturned.

That said...

Fathers' legal rights have, unfortunately, stagnated. In this country it would be totally legal for a woman to provide a purposefully broken condom, get pregnant, have a baby, and possibly even get child support... and the father can do absolutely nothing. Likewise, if a man and woman make love and the woman gets pregnant... she can have it aborted whenever she wants. The father doesn't have a say.

I know men aren't pregnant. I can't carry a child to term in my womb. Does that really mean that we are not a part of the process? It's odd to fight for men's rights, I'll admit, but this is a conversation that needs to happen.

Are fathers just sperm machines?
