While I don't really like the idea of abortion at all, I would be willing to compromise if the system were designed in a certain way. This is just my personal opinion. If the woman is not an adult, or is raped, or the man wants nothing to do with it, and she doesn't want it either, she should be able to choose to abort. In the same scenario's, if the woman does want it, she should be able to choose to give birth and accept full responsibility of that child (with adult approval if she's not). If however they are both consenting adults, and they both agree the point of the act is to create a life, if she changes her mind and no longer wants the child, but the man does, then she should have to give birth. The way I see it, that man owns the rights to his 'product' and therefore the rules that go along with that should basically be contractual. If he requires what comes of that 'product', a child, is to be given life, then it should be granted, or the contract would then be broken, and she should have to pay a price. That price should be enough that she has to think twice before trying to abort. The man would also need to accept 100% responsibility of that child. This way woman should get their way the large majority of the time and in those cases shouldn't really hurt anybody else (but the unborn potentially). While there would need to be much more to this, as I most certainly haven't covered absolutely everything, I think it would please many more people than simply allowing woman to make the choice no matter what. I realize it's their body that holds the unborn, but that being wouldn't exist without that man's 'product'. |
When the man can carry a pregnancy inside his body, he'll get the right to decide.
I don't give any woman the right to decide what happens inside my testicles just because they carry potential life.
