Abortion is not a solution for both parties because only WOMEN decide it. If the man wants to keep the kid, but the woman does not, it doesn't matter.
And yes, they are related - if a woman can opt out of taking care of a kid, then a man should as well. Women say "It's my body," then men should say "It's my money." By the way, I think men should have to take care of their kids - but that women shouldn't take abortion so lightly (I believe abortion should be legal up to 12 weeks).
It's basically saying, "My body, my rights. Everyone's responsibility." If she and the guy wants to opt out of pregnancy - do not have sex. Simple as that. She has the choice whether or not to have a kid once she has sex. Once she does have sex, she has CHOSEN the possibility of having a kid (as well as the father).
NO abortions for stupid behavior.

I'm simply saying abortion rids both parties of responsibility for that child. It's ultimately the woman's option to have an abortion because its her body and that's the way it should be.
We're arguing in circles. I will never agree a man should be able to opt out of caring for a child.

Seems like a double standard to me. Look I don't disagree that a man should 'opt' out of caring for his child... But in this day and age of equality between the sexes should then a woman not have the option to 'opt' out either?
