Right. I think that if women want equality, the father should some how be involved in the decision making when it comes to an abortion. Then again, the mother has to suffer 9 months and afterwards due to the pregnancy if she is forced to give birth. It's a tricky issue. The courts have it right, by making the child's life and welfare, and the capability of the legal custodian to be able to afford to give the child a proper upbringing and childhood. A real man accepts the possibility of child support the moment he penetrates a woman without birth control. A deadbeat or loser does not. Then again, the woman should never allow a man to penetrate her without one being on birth control, if she wishes to not risk pregnancy. Abortions are in my opinion, the direct result of 2 people with piss poor prior planning that has little respect or value for other living things or life itself.
