Oddly enough, I’m about to start arguing against my personal beliefs, or rather, what I would hope I would personally do in a similar situation. I do this because of the theory of equality. I’m sorry the words “Life isn’t fair” don’t wash with me. Hell, what would have happened had the north said that to the slaves in the south. We have a history, and a proud history at that, of fighting inequality and injustice.
I’m sorry, I must have missed something. When was it, exactly, that sex became a one sided thing. I’m just asking because the number one argument against this idea is the root that it gives men a “right to be irresponsible.” I contest that if a man is not going to use a condom, the woman should not sleep with him or find an alternate means of control, hey…now that’s novel.
The whole point of this, in the first place, was that the woman has total control.
Aside from that, as many personal examples conclude, men who are going to be irresponsible in as much as support goes, are going to do it no matter what laws exist. Why not create a law that gives the woman the knowledge that this will happen before hand, instead of the guy just up-and-leaving some day. Not only that, but a law of this nature would certainly dissuade those who would attempt to trap a man by getting intentionally pregnant.
And I’m sorry, I realize I’m not a woman, but for all of you who contest that a man doesn’t feel it when a woman choses to give up, or abort, his baby, fuck you. That’s as sexist a statement as they come. You have no clue what another person feels or believes, and its ridiculous that one would follow such a sterotype. Talk about ignorant.
Implementing a law of this nature puts a man on equal footing with a woman, what is the problem with that? Logically, any other argument doesn’t make sence.
