There are two angles to look at this argument:
Example 1:
1) Fetus is NOT a human
2) Gender Equality
Shouldn't men have the "equality" to choose whether or not they wish to have and support a baby? Women should have the choice to say what to do with their body, and men shouldn't be allowed to force them into anything. However, the man should have the right to pull out of the relationship entirely and the woman to understand that this eventual baby is hers to take care of. There is no gender equality when women have the only say in parenthood.
Example 2:
1) Fetus is a human
This is murder and he should be locked up. Sorry, but sexual intercourse is what makes human life. If you are having sex, you need to realize that there is always a possibility of creating a human (even if you pull out. Even if you wear a condom. Even if she is on the pill). When you decide to have sex, you are making a conscious decision and you have to bear the responsibility of your actions. Grow the fuck up.
On a side note, I will just throw it out there that I believe all men should be castrated as babies and that the "ability to create human life" should be given back at an adult age when the man is proven to be healthy and can provide for a baby. There's simply no way to control people's behaviors and there will always be accidents and tragedies with pregnancies. That's why instead of trying to change people, we have to restrict the idiocy of their action's results. |
Your post was for the most part interesting and reasonable until I got up to that last paragraph. If that is truly your stance then I am shocked beyond words.
Part of what makes us men is the transformation we undergo during puberty. If you take that away we might as well just be portable sperm banks and or drones. That line of thinking I would expect more from femenist extremists to be honest.

Hahaha, that was just my frustration talking over the subject. The only hope I see for the universe is the fact that there's no way we're the most advanced race of beings out there. :P
