Which is why I'm fine with pro choice, but a woman's choice shouldn't be the only choice outside of her bodily autonomy.
Which currently doesn't exist. There are some but besides condoms (which aren't perfect) male contraception similar to the pill are still in trial phases. You can argue getting a vasectomy but considering the cost of things now getting elective surgery isn't doable for most.
You're making the exact same arguments as anti-abortionist. Rules for thee not for me. And considering it takes two ppl to make a baby BOTH parties are responsible for their fertility. It's ewually both parties fault of a pregnancy happens
I find it laughable that women can completely opt out of raising a child to the point France made it a constitutional right, yet a man has no say (in most cases) at any point from conception to the childs 18th birthday considering both parties are equally responsible. How can you be pro-choice yet make the state force a man to take care of a child they may have openly said did they did not want before the pregnancy?
Ffs, they have a choice to have sex, sex carries risk. Grow up, use a condom and accept the reality that if you take the risk you take the responsibility. Biology isn't fair and the woman has a choice due entirely to biology.
I guarantee this has been said word for word during a protest outside of an abortion clinic.
So? Getting an abortion or taking the morning after pill are possible solutions for women. They are not possible for men because men don't get pregnant and therefore don't have access to those solutions. Why you think that means they should be able to have risk free sex and transfer all their economic risk to women is beyond me. Seems rather unfair to be honest, and what incentuve would men have to use contraception then? There is no point in continuing this conversation.
Seems about as unfair as man being saddled with more economic risk than a woman since child support amount is completely arbitrary and based solely on the judges decision. And in some cases (which I've seen personally) losing their freedom because they don't make enough money to cover child support costs.
Potential penalties include fines and up to six months imprisonment. If the amount of owed child support is more than $10,000 or has not been paid for over two years, the violation is considered a felony and subjects a defendant to up to two years imprisonment.
Instead of making men shoulder all the responsibility of a woman's decision to keep a child how about you argue for the state to implement things like affordable health care and childcare?
The same incentive women have since they can abortions. STI's and Aids
