Just to correct if the man has a say he pays child support. The penalty is the child support. Many men would argue that having to pay child support for 18 years causes enough of financial and mental burden to exceed the 9 months of the woman.
On that point who was it that said freedom (liberty) without responsibility is anarchy?
>It's quite bizarre that you claim to be against the killing of human life ………., yet you are so willing to argue for a system where said life can be killed as soon as two people agree,
To me it’s all about being logically consistent within the particular circumstances, remember I’m a mete-ethical moral relativist.
Personally to be consistent with our core moral values you would have no abortion unless it has a good chance of threatening the life of the mother the mother is financially compensated by the state and the man pays child support for 18 years. IVF is outlawed as is any embryonic stem cell research.
To have abortion and be consistent, the man has a say but pays child support for 18 years, the woman may be compelled but is compensated by the state. Non-person post natals ie infants the impaired elderly and severely mentally handicapped & those in comas may be killed experimented on or used as body banks.
There can be no objection on abortion for sex or cosmetic selection reasons or late term abortions right up until birth.
I would be prepared to debate in more detail if we stick to short premise like arguments but I must admit this post limit is pissing me.
Newroo if a sex therapist saw read your post they would just shake their head and seriously suggest some therapy and sex education, what a shallow ignorant sexual world you must live in.
Why wont you address not being responsible for the CHOICE of having sex in the first place?
