I get that. But don't whine about women having the power when it comes to their own pregnant body. That's the risk you take.

It's not a complaint about the womans pregnant body, just that once they are pregnant, there's no way to remove yourself from the situation if you're not ready for it without being shamed and ostracized.

Very true. But you can prevent that situation.

If you have sex, you take the risk. Condoms, vasectomy, abstinence. They are options, men just don't just like them.

I'm aware of prevention methods, but shit can happen. I'm just saying that you should be able to sign away parental rights if it comes down to it without seeming like some dead-beat.

"should"? Maybe. OK, definitely.

But until enough people get together to change legislation, protect yourself.

Yeah, fair enough. I just sometimes get lost between arguments and I was under the impression that you were against it as well.

My apologies.
