Well, you can complain all you want and don't get anybody pregnant you don't want to have a child with. I won't complain when the government interveins with values that are not held my everyone in the country and legislate decisions that should be made my a medical professional qualified to make these decisions.

I'm not saying a word about the pratice of abortion. For this argument, anyway. I'm just saying if it's the woman's decision, then it is the woman's decision and therefore her responsibility. I can understand why you wouldn't want the government to be involved. Fine. But if it's your choice, it's your responsibility.

What if the man wants the kid and the woman doesn't? She can still abort. Even though he was part of the process, he has no rights should she choose to abort. So, if the man doesn't want the kid and cannot force the woman to abort, why should he be finanacially responsible?

Again, my argument is completely rhetorical. I have yet to hear anyone ever give me a logical reason why the man should be financially responsible when it is only the choice of the woman to have the child or to abort the child.
