Also the man should not have a legal say because at that point he can not legally prove he is the biological father.

If its that much of a concern get a DNA test.

Sure he should. He has choices too, his just happen to be fewer than hers. Once the child is born, it isn't about either of the parents anymore. Support is for the child that is born.

Riiiiight, that's why she can just dump the kid in the hands of DFCS no questions asked.

BS, women like having the "more choices" option, it's an easy way to extort guys for money.

Women don't just like it, its a fact of nature.

Also the man can claim the child once it is born, if he doesn't want her "dumping it off" (not sure what you mean here, are you talking about her giving it up for adoption?)

I think you would have much less child poverty if women understood there was no guerantee of the father paying anything towards the kid.

I hear many pro-choice arguments, mostly from the point of view that it is a woman's right to decide if she wants to have a child. My question is: If a woman decides to have an abortion, but the father wants the baby and is willing to take full custody of it, does the mother have the right to terminate anyway?

What kind of guy sleeps with a woman who would kill his children,.... or before knowing ahead of time whether she would or not?

So is someone walking away when they don't want to be a parent.
Your just in favor of using to law, to give you more choices, that happen to allow you to lord over other people.

Lord over you?? lol Women can stop a pregnancy. Women can get pregnant. That's just how it is.
 
Don't you guys read the news?
The "male birth control pill" has been in the headlines for weeks.
It's been developed; it's now being tested for safety.
Google "Bright Pill".

If the risks and side effects are comparable to what females have to endure with hormonal contraceptives, I'm not sure how many men will be willing to take them, however.
Men have less to lose, ergo it makes sense that they'd be less likely to endure side effects which compromised their quality of life, in exchange for (relative) freedom from the risk of accidental pregnancy.

I'm also not sure if there will be age restrictions to this "male contraceptive pill"; for instance, many doctors recommend women over 35 stop taking the pill, as the risk of contraceptive-related stroke and cardiovascular complications skyrockets at that age.
A male contraceptive pill that was contraindicated for men over 35 would be useful in only a limited sense; men remain capable of reproducing for many, many years beyond that age, whereas female fertility is winding down by then.

Is she going to have to pay child support to the state for her choices?
Nope.

If she gives up her baby for adoption, someone else takes on the care of the child.
If it is just in the states care, she should have to pay support.

Hopefully it has limited to no side effects and hopefully guys will use it.
Seeing the reality of condom use, I'm not convinced.

It is unlikely that a drug which alters the body to the extent of making one temporarily sterile would have "limited to no side effects".

I still can't see forcing her to carry it. It would be nice if she would take his feelings into consideration though.

I think my compromise I posted a few pages back would still give the woman alot of power while being fair to the guy. I think its unfair to give one party all the power, when it involves two parties.
 
just been reading about it apprantly it block sperm becoming adult sperm.It would be brilliant cant help but slightly worry about long term side effects though.

Yes because if a child is born, it is a person with rights of its own.

I think it's quite wrong, to allow one person to chose for another how the next 18 years of their life will be effected.
While the person gets to make their own choices, as to how their life will be.

Your essentially promoting sexism under the guise of female equality.
There is nothing equal or just about the situation.
