Jay520 said: @sc You seem to be referring to the morality of abortion, which is not what I was talking about. I'm talking about who should take responsibility and who has power Both the man and woman should take a responsibility, because: (a) The man chose to make decisions that results in a baby - sex; and (b) The woman chose to make decisions that results in a baby - sex and refusing to abort. Because both parties made decisions that resulted in a baby, both should take responsibility for a baby. Both a man and woman have the power to decide on having a baby because a baby requires: (a) A man who agrees to sex, which can result in a baby; and (b) A woman who agrees to sex and does not abort, which results in a baby. From this, we can conclude that no one can force someone to be a parent, because in order to be a parent, that person needs to make decisions which risk the birth of a baby. |
So the woman makes a mistake -> she can abort the baby.
A man makes a mistake -> oh well you're a parent. I see! Equality, huh?

What? There is no mistake...There is no man in the world that accidentally slipped their penis into a woman's vagina and ejaculated. We're talking about men who make conscious decision to fertilized a woman. Once the man does this, its over; we shouldn't feel sorry for him or give him the ability to abort the baby. He made a decision. Deal with it.
Yes, 9 months after conception, women have more time to change their decision, but so what? That's nature. Why should we feel sorry for the man and give him special powers? |
Frankly, my argument is that we shouldn't give the woman special powers. Do not legalize abortion for irresponsible women. Only allow it for women who have health risks or were raped (and even the latter case is contesable.) There is no natural right to kill a fetus. And no, this isn't morality I'm assuming, but natural law.
