I am almost SICK to my stomach about the arguments that a father has no rights in having an input to if a child is aborted or not. While I stand by my belief that abortion should be allowed, I ALSO stand by my belief that the father has equal rights in said child being aborted or not.
It's so easy to say "what about the father", but how many teenage single fathers do you know? How many adult single men do you know that have custody of a child, other than after a divorce? We all know about the babies of single mothers who end up neglected because she struggles to earn a living while he takes off, shirking the parental rights he claimed.

Maybe when we start to see more men step up to the plate, things will change, but at this point I'm not seeing it. Equality ain't always 50/50.
