If woman demand the right to not suffer any consequences, POST-coitally, including by means that are neither biological nor medical ( See " Legal Abandon Laws ", and " Adopting Out Laws " ), 

then its anti men sexism to deny men the same kinds of legal choice by which to say " no ". 

If " sex is a two way street ", how come the consequences of sex are held ONLY against men ?  

And, how about asking *women* to live up to their responsibilities, too ?  

" Her body, her choice... HER *responsibility* ". 

  

I'm actually surprised this hasn't come up before now. I keep hearing about the man keeping it under control....what happened to HER responsibility? The difference is SHE has choices and he doesn't. Seems to me if she had no choices she might just be more careful. IT TAKES TWO TO TANGLE! I guarantee you if I did not want a child I would make sure it was not possible...one way or another. I take responsibility for MY actions. In the first place, taking a human life should NEVER be a choice but since the courts have overlooked that, then men should have rights too. If I mess around and get pregnant and that guy does not want to support the child, what makes you think that child is going to be better off with him in their life? If our first priority is the child then #1... Killing the child is not best for him or her, #2... As a women I have to step up to my part  and not ask for money from somebody not interested in my child, #3... If I am not able to care for my child then maybe I should give them up for adoption....(we ARE talking about what is best for the child). Sometimes there is no better way to show love for your child , #4... Abstain if you are not going to protect..YOU tell him, "wear a condom or NO sex! PERIOD....DONE DEAL". So the bottom line is, that women could have said no to sex without a condom as well as he. He believed her and maybe she believed the Dr. but she still had the same responsibility to protect. Mutual sex demands mutual choices. Women, don't tell the man if you don't want him involved except for the money! If he doesn't know, he can't demand anything.......but then neither can we. SO.....WHAT IS BEST FOR THE CHILD? Each women is going to have to make that decision. Do I tell or not? Do I want him involved or not? Do I want his money bad enough to involve somebody that would not be good for the child? Better have these questions answered BEFORE you risk having unprotected sex. BK, Ark.
