Some men, yes most defintely 100% should have a say.

 

Tricky topic!Not sure myself.

 

Would depend on circumstances.

 

If there going to take an interest in the child then yes because they will be losing a child but if they aren't going to be there for the child then no

 

Yes! ive had this conversation many many times, I feel once a woman is pregnant the man can do NOTHING! you have no right to see your child if your not married, you have no say on anything but the man is expected to pay for something he has told the woman he wants nothing to do with. There should be a legal waver stating that the man and woman have either

1. said they both want the child
2. the male has stated he wants the child but female doesn't (custody and full child support will be handled by the male)
3.the female has stated she wants the child and male doesn't (custody and full child support will be handled by the female)

Women trap men to easy doing this and men can do nothing about it once a woman is pregnant. The law needs changing.

 

I know someone that is having this problem at the minute. The girlfriend has a screw loose and trapped them into staying with her by having a child. When they split up she uses the child as a way to get them back together. I dont think its the first time either.

Then I suppose there is the question as to why he never used a condom. Quite simple, she told him she was pregnant when she wasnt and then they started having unprotected * according to the mate.

 

One of the main responses I've heard on this one is "Well, until men can actually become pregnant then it's pretty much tough", which is pretty much bullshit really.

If the man wants to father the child and take responsibility of being a father then they should have a say, but unfortunately it will always boil down to it being the woman's body and, unless anything comes into law, the final decision will always be the woman's.

Like I say, I do think that's wrong, especially if the man wants to father the child and the woman doesn't but just imagine the uproar - especially from feminazi groups - on a woman being "forced" to have a child that she doesn't want to have even though the father says that he will take care of it.

I can understand a woman not wanting to go through with a pregnancy that she doesn't want BUT men should have rights as well as it is their child also and really why should a man who's wanting to be a father lose out on actually being a dad?

Unfortunately, it's a no win situation for men in this subject and I think always will be.

 

I really want to start a debate on gender inequality towards men right now.

 

Should we? yes.

Will we ever? No

 

If I was a man , id never ever have unprotected * , id be very choosy about who mothered my child .

 

This is the attitude that should be shown by every man and woman, it's an eternal tie.
One I didn't follow myself, The kids mums a good mother and all but now that were no longer together and I've moved on my boy has been used as a weapon on numerous occasions and now it's in the hands of my lawyer so I can even see him.

My opinion is no though, its the woman's choice to have her body ravaged and occupied for nine months. Its not right to turn someone into an incubator against their will.

 

Women have choices and men have responsibilities.

 

No, not at all.

 

Im pretty sure that when a viable contraception pill becomes available for males, many of us will take it and i dont think you'll ever hear a male say 'i forgot to take it' hehe

 

Yes.

I think a man and woman should sign some sort of contract before they bang.

 

A man should obviously be allowed to have a say in an abortion but that's it just a say. There is no way a woman should or could be forced to keep a baby and go through with the birth on his say.

 

I think its all too easy for the man to runaway once the child is born, whereas the mother is generally tied to the baby/child, so if she is adament she doesn't want it i think her say would overall any mans. Especially if she will be reasonably reliant on the mans income and is unsure how long he'll be willing to support her.

In a marriage however i think it should be a joint desicion, as the two people have made a commitment to each other, and although this is less likely to be an issue in a marriage, sometimes finances and other similar things may see married couples not wanting a child, or at least half of the married couple.

 

Yes of course the father of the child should have a say on whether or not his child should be killed/destroyed.

 

I would say no. The guy has made them pregnant, they decide what happens.
