Re: Male responsability in abortion

Let's look at this objectively:

1) You want to force a woman to have a child she doesn't want! 1st ingredient in the recipe for disaster. Good for the mother or child? No. How traumatic for that poor child!

2) The child is the product of 2 irresponsible people who couldn't figure out birth control, nor care enough about each other or the child to marry. Good for the child?

3) The child will be raised by a mother who doesn't love it or want it. Good for the child? Hardly. And you are willing to have her do so after indicating she's unfit and DOESN'T WANT THE CHILD.

4) You make her sound unstable: godd for the child?

5) the father is only willing to put in "part-time" raising, though he is the only one insisting the child be born.

"Believe me I am very distraught over this." Distraught enough to be mother AND father to the child? That's what a child needs most. But you expect a woman who doesn't want the child to do this.

"Emotionally I can barely function right now, but it seems that I am a male without any rights. The unfortunate fact of our society." Yet, you still are not willing to do a MOTHER'S obligation to her child. Women still carry the children and -almost without exception- do the actual raising, not just send $. You have a right to wear a condom to avoid this problem.

If you can do ALL these things on your own, you would still be giving your child an inadequate, unloving mother. Doesn't EVERY child deserve more? Not just a "chance" to experience all of the above?

If you truly hurt over the unborn life, you might never put anyone in this position again; now you see the actual price of sex - sure, it's easy until something important like this or a life-threatening disease comes along.

It's not my intention to hurt you, just encourage you to think of the child, not yourself...and it seems the break-up might have a hand in your desire to force her to become a mother. You might put her on the board for her side of the story! You never say how long you've been together.
