This is such a /facepalm thread. As pointed out, both participants have birth control options prior to conception. If those methods fail, it is the woman who is physically/emotionally affected, and must make the decision for herself and her body. If both parties are being held out as "medically and legally equal", then if both want an abortion, then the male should undergo an equally painful procedure to his reproductive organs (such as catheterization with a spiny, rusted object, and charged the same amount as the female must pay to undergo similar pain to abort.
However, if she is morally opposed to abortion and chooses to carry the child to term, she can look forward to 9 months of increasing discomfort and unpredictable hours of agonizing labor and childbirth... but the man simply wants to suffer the agony of putting his signature on an opt-out form? :lol: Yeah, that's not equal, gentlemen, on any planet in the galaxy.
My advice? Use two things: Condoms and personal discretion.
This would be a lol-thread if it wasn't so self-indulgently serious.
