I suppose I could infer from your comments that women are UNABLE to provide for children?[/i]
No such inference. I think both parents should provide for their children. Even if a woman is able to provide lavishly for her children, the man should also provide to the best of his ability. That means financial, emotional, and physical (time spent).
...Why don't the women pay and let the men raise the kids?
The proportion of time, money, and responsibilities have to be divided up depending on each family's circumstances. There are many factors involved (age, physical health, education level, earning potential, temperment). But each parent needs to do as much as possible.
... If the woman has the right to choose to have a child, then the man should have equal right to choose as well...
Please clarify. What is it that the man would be choosing? Do you mean the man could either forbid or require a woman to get an abortion?
Essentially, man's choice begins at his zipper. After the fact is too late.
