Seeker,
I am in agreement with this. Abortion has little to do with the “best interests of the child”, as the child is killed. If born the child could be handed over to the father for full custody, or adopted out (and there is a huge waiting list of childless couples).

It is all about the woman. The woman wants the child killed so that it is out of her life as much as possible, so she can avoid responsibility (NB. most women who have abortions are not teenage women) It is about giving a woman “choice” of “responsibility”. If she wants no responsibility, then she can kill the child and no questions are asked.

Of course the father has no such choice of responsibility.

It is also noticeable how the strongest supporters of abortion on demand “for the woman”, also make the most maligning comments about others, but refuse to substantiate those comments. Again avoidance of responsibility.

It is also noticeable how the strongest supporters of abortion on demand “for the woman”, also refuse to answer questions that are asked of them. Again avoidance of responsibility.

It is also noticeable how the strongest supporters of abortion on demand “for the woman”, also seem to want no more information to be gathered regards abortion, or no more research undertaken, or only limited research undertaken. Again avoidance of responsibility.

Are we not so over this one! The last comments by Timkins and Andyman just say it all. In the fifties, if we got preggers it was tough cookies if we were stuck with a baby. If we had a shotgun marriage we had "trapped him". No win. Most of the time (seeings how we are now a collective damnation of What Women Do When They Find out They Are Pregnant?!) you guys just took off or didn't pay. Now women have the (and getting to the CRUX of the issue,) safe and legal right to an abortion and you guys are all bitching about child care, access and maintenance. Which, by the by, has nothing to do with abortion. The flavour seems to be that you just can't stand the fact that women now have the call over a very important issue after millenium of having no choice or control. The very thing you guys are bitching about. Choice and control. To do that on this issue, you will need a uterus.
