Do you know the difference between legal options vs moral choices?
Because a legal option exists doesn’t mean that women have to abandon their moral beliefs simply because she legally can.
If a man has no clue about what a woman’s moral beliefs are and how those beliefs will control her personal choice if she has an unwanted pregnancy - then the man should never ever have sex with a woman who he doesn’t know the answer to her stance.
Granted -- likewise, she should not have sex with him. Women have brains, you know. We're not morons that can't control our urges.
“Most Pro-choice women” won’t have an abortion, but clearly understand the necessity for having the right. That’s not some hidden secret about women.
Preaching to the choir -- but, irrelevant to our discussion.
A man’s choice starts with know what the potential outcome will be if he has sex with any given woman. Period. And that’s especially true if the woman says, “Of course I take birth control.
If the law allowed zero consequences for a men to knock up women (aka Bop Till Ya Drop laws)...do you honestly believe that pregnancies wouldn’t go sky high - until women would finally be forced to significantly suppress or stop having sex DESPITE being on birth control? If that happened I personally would go into the “battery operated boy friend” business. I’d be wealthy within a year.
Again, you're taking the position that women are morons and unable to control their own bodies. At the end of the day -- we, and only we -- control the population of this planet. We have access to many types of birth control and we have access to abortion. Those options should all be free, in my opinion, so access is even more equal for all.
Prevention would cease to be in the mindset of men. And prevention is the key to unwanted pregnancies. That or celibacy. Nobody wants the latter to be the rule rather than the exception or individual choice.
The "mindset" of the man won't have ANY impact as long as the woman takes care of herself. Isn't that what we all want? To control our ability to reproduce? Reproductive rights, remember? You're trying to remove our rights and obligations and say - we're too stupid to control our reproduction -- we have to turn that over to men.
I don't think you even understand how anti-woman that is.
Let’s do an experiment...
If you had 100 soundproof cubicles with a randomly chosen woman in each cubicle and then had a randomly chosen man go to each cubicle and ask each woman if they would have sex. What do yo predict the outcome come of that experiment to yield? How many women would agree to have sex with a total stranger simply because they’re asked?
Now reverse the experiment. What do you think the opposite outcome would yield? How many men would agree to have sex with a total stranger simply because they’re asked?
I get your point -- the men (a higher percentage) would have sex, given the opportunity. Testosterone vs. estrogen.
But, we're not like rats in cubicles -- we're women -- and we have the ultimate choice in this day of whether we choose to reproduce. Period. We are not helpless victims.
While there are valid reasons for ordering child support -- these are not among them. Lursa's financial reasons come the closest to being valid. Yours do not.
The answer is to teach our young women that birth control is power -- that instead of thinking their lives have to depend on men -- teach them to set high goals for themselves. Those goals may or may not consist of having children. But teach them that no matter what the male says, they must protect themselves.
