If I were to become pregnant.... of course the commie and I....

[liberalitch]

would discuss the out come BUT..... we agreed that the ultimate decision would be mine.

[Iris]

1. but if you didn't want to discuss the outcome, that would be your decision

as well.

[liberalitch]

4. And that was the commie's position.....

I am afraid that folks don't realize how big a deal this really is.

Okay suppose I was a woman in the throes of divorce..... and found I was pregnant..... whereas most men are reasonable.... My ex would have been the type of guy to "deny permission" to have attempted to bind me to his psycho ass forever.

[Iris]

9. well, the law from PA was not for permission; just notification.

but you are right - it is a very big deal.

Any restriction on a woman - and it's not the restriction that bothers me so much as lumping ALL women together and telling them what steps they should take in making a very personal deicsion - is inappropriate.

2. If your decision was "yes" and his wasn't...

Would you demand support for the baby?

[texastoast]

5. No, the baby would demand it

And he would learn to be a little more careful with his sperm the next time. Can't let that stuff loose just anywhere without consequences most of the time.

[liberalitch]

7. SPLAT!

lol.... sorry.... just a visual that was really gross!

[liberalitch]

6. You mean I want a baby and he doesn't?

Then I could not demand support as I am the one who decided to be a parent.
If I didn't want to be a mother then (i hate to say it) but he would have to abide by MY decision. Unless medical technololgy has discovered methods of fetal transfer and male incubation

10. I tend to agree with you, but am uncomfortable with the possiblity of a

woman being coerced into an abortion because the man refuses financial support.

[SmokingJacket]

8. I would.

That's the risk you take for a few minutes of pleasure.

Harsh, but reality.

If a man doesn't want to support a baby, he must either get a vasectomy, insist on a condom, be celibate, or roll the dice.

[SmokingJacket]

3. Yes... because we bear the literal burden of pregnancy,

we get to decide. Period.
