Since my life isn't all that interesting at the moment I think I'll stick to writing commentaries on articles that I read. That way I don't have to be nearly as creative, it lends to my naturally lazy character. So anyway, I was reading this article, and I felt compelled to put my two cents in.

For a long time I've been of the opinion that men should not be allowed to vote on the issue of abortion. I felt that it is ultimately a woman's decision and that a man doesn't have to carry the physical or emotional burden of child bearing and child birth. As a side note, I hate it when a man says "We're pregnant!" as if he is actually doing half of the work. Yeah right, he stopped working hard at the exact moment he pulled his limp noodle out of her. If you don't believe me consider this scenario. A guy gets plastered and knocks up some chic at a party but she doesn't tell him about it. Five months later will he be looking in the mirror and saying to himself "OMG i think I'm pregnant!"?

No. He wont be doing that. But she will. Unless of course she gets an abortion. Which brings us full circle to our topic of conversation.

Recently I have begun to alter my views on whether men should be included in the legal process as it pertains to the women's right to choose. The reason being that recently in the news there have been stories of girls getting pregnant at a young age on purpose. They will fuck some boy and lie to him about being on birth control with the intention of getting pregnant. Under current law a man is responsible for the child whether he was intentionally trying to have one or not. A woman has the choice to abort a baby she doesn't want but a man does not. I can understand that when they were writing the legislation they probably never thought that a woman would intentionally have a child without informing the father and then expect support after the birth.

I think that the legislation should be amended to protect unwilling fathers in some way. Both parents are equally responsible for the pregnancy so there should be some equality when it comes to the decision of keeping the child or not. Remember no taxation without representation? Well its kinda like that. It definitely wouldn't be easy but I would like some protection from some crazy bitch trying to get herself pregnant using my sperm and then taking me to court afterwards as if I was the problem all along.
