Men should get a say!

[DANGERTASTIC!]

Guy doesn't want to have baby or have anything to do with baby, girl does, guy is financially responsible until the child is 19 (in Colorado).

How the hell does that make sense?.

Like I said in my earlier post, its the womens sense of entitlement.

They feel like they are "Owed". How else are they gonna take care of a baby and still buy their clothes and shop and go out to the bars with their friends?

+1 to just about everything in this thread.

4 years ago I got my girlfriend at the time pregnant, I was pretty happy about it. I was gonna man up at prove to myself I was NOTHING like my "Dad". We lost it.

Sorry to hear man. Pretty much the same situation here, almost 5 years ago though.

Men don't carry a baby for 9 months, but they are required to support that baby for 18 years....

Was gonna post this

I agree with Ronin13.

"Women be shoppin'!"
Couldn't resist.

I would have to agree that no matter what the woman decides to do, she should discuss it with the man involved. Ultimately, she could do whatever she wants without consulting the man, but she should have the common courtesy to at least have the conversation with him. I've heard stories of a woman having an abortion because she thought the man she was with will be scared off because he doesn't want to have kids, to just find out later that he does. A couple I know was in that situation, and now that they are married and have two kids, she still regrets the decision she made back then.

With you on this

The laws are totally in the women's favor...
You get your girlfriend pregnant, she doesn't want the child, but you do... you lose.
You get your girlfriend pregnant, she wants the child and you don't, you get 18 years of child support...you lose.

I hate and will never understand abortion being a form of birth control! If you old enough to play your old enough to pay....

I am 100% for a woman's right to choose. I don't think abortion should be used as birth control, but it's not my decision to make. If a man doesn't want kids, there is a simple outpatient surgery to make sure that doesn't happen.

Aren't you only like 17 years-old though?

I don't think abortion should be illegal because in some cases such as rape or incest, the woman should not be forced into having the child no matter what the circumstance and she should have the choice at least.

But when you are old enough to make the decision to have sex, you are making the decision to be mature enough to be a parent. whether the two involved are mature enough to be good parents may be a question but even older people can be horrible parents.

Women say it is their "right" or their "choice". the guy should have just as much say as he had just as much of a part of the baby making process. it is a 2 way process and should be a 2 way street/decision.

We have our first due in October. It is amazing see how quickly they develop with the ultrasound pictures. I used to think more along the lines of the womens right to choose but after going through this process it makes me sad to think how many babies are actually aborted. I wish the women had to see what their child looks like and listen to the heartbeat before they have it ripped out of them.

I don't know how anybody can get around abortion not being murder.

What really grinds my gears is I remember hearing during the Ft. Hood shooting (and I'm sure this happens all the time) one of those murdered was a pregnant woman. That should be two counts of murder right there. But it wasn't because if it was, than abortion would be murder, too.
