Can someone help me understand how abortion and child support are equivalent?
I agree and somewhat agree with Excon here. we are talking about the sex act and not the outcome. The man and the woman agreed to have sex. And sex doesn't mean agreeing to have children. Therefore if a woman can end all responsibility of the sex act at any time (before birth) then the man gets that same choice. Once the woman has made her decision to keep or abort and the man gets his option to abort or take responsibility, then the woman can utilize the information about the man to make the final choice. One of those outcomes is that the woman bears all responsibility or to terminate once she knows what the man will do. after she learns what the man will do, she still has the option to terminate.
I don't believe it is her responsibility only for the sex act but choice should be extend to both parties. We are not equating abortion to child support. we are equating the decision to abort or not (taking responsibility or not for the woman) to the decision to abort financial support or not (taking responsibility for the man).
