Men DO walk away from women when they're pregnant. I see it all the time! I'm sure it happened to many of you guys.
I agree, that people should be responsible and use birth control at all times. It is very true. If a couple does not use contraception or birth control and gets pregnant, then it is their FAULT. However, I do not think it is fair to force the woman to have a baby if she made a mistake. Nobody is perfect. I don't want babies born in families that don't want them. That would be a terrible way to live. Adoption is an option, but it is a BIG DEAL to carry a baby for 9 months and then give it up! That is a very painful thing for some women to do! It really messes up your body, and you have to put up with a lot to have a baby.
I don't like abortion, and I couldn't have one personally. But it is still very important to keep that option open because you NEVER know. Maybe the man played games with the woman's contraception (Like in Desperate Housewives). What is the woman supposed to do, then. She's the one who has to carry it and do all the work! Maybe a couple gets married, and everything is ok at first but then husband becomes very abusive. But it's too late. The woman is already pregnant. What can she do? Have the baby and maybe the husband will beat on the baby too? Her husband is not doing his job to her. Is she supposed to leave him and raise the baby alone? Put up with it for 9 months and pay for a baby without any insurance? I can think of many, many situations where abortion might be necessary.
And you are right. Women can say no to sex. Men can say it too. But if both of them say yes, guess who has to pay for it? Not the man!
And no, women don't need men to protect and lead them. Women need men to love and support them. I don't need a man leading me or protecting me. If I had a man I would like for him to LOVE me, to SUPPORT me by giving me advice, giving me protection if I ASK for it, and allowing me to lead him, too. Men are not the experts on everything!!!
Anyway, thanks for the good debate and all of you guys' support.
I hope someday our society will -
-provide birth control information and access to EVERYBODY, even in high school sex education classes!
-make abortion safe, legal and RARE
-respect women's rights to make decisions about THEIR bodies
-encourage more monogamous, committed relationships between straight AND gay people with laws that respect their rights and support them.
-have a better way of dealing with unwanted children. Adoption agencies should be cheaper, not so expensive (it costs 15,000 at LEAST to adopt a baby in some places!)
-be more open about sexuality and what makes us sexual beings with desires and needs instead of punishing people who express their lustful feelings
Okay, so that's it!!
