What about the rights of the Father?
I believe abortion should be allowed in a case of rape, and incest with no questions asked, but as it stands today if a woman gets pregnant and wants to have an abortion she can do it and the father has no say at all in the matter. That's his child as well. That's where I have the biggest problem with everything.
I have 2 kids. A boy and a girl. I SHOULD have three kids but my ex had an abortion I didn't even know about untill years later. She never told me she was pregnant at the time and just went and had it done and NO ONE asked me what I thought about it. That was MY child that was killed before I even knew about it and it STILL pisses me off. Her reasoning was that she didn't want anymore kids and that two was enough for her. Never even crossed her mind that I might want to have anouther kid.
So what about MY rights when it comes to abortion??
I know your not going to like this answer.
And Im not saying it to piss you off or to hurt you.
But your rights as a father are the same as if you didnt want the kid and she did.
You have none.
Nor do I for that matter.
And quite honestly it makes sense even if you or I dont like it.
We are merely sperm donors untill the child is born.
From the time of conception the woman has all the burdon of carrying and the risk. Some women still die during childbirth.
You and I dont have the burdon. nor do we share that risk.
We get all the pleasure and none of the pain. Cept perhaps phsycologically.
One the child is born. then we can claim rights.
This two is a double edged sword.
for if we are going to claim rights as a father.
We should also be allowed to surrender those rights and responcabilities if we so choose.
What of the rightsof those who didnt want a kid?
You can as others have said say "Dont have sex"
And that makes for some very nice rhetoric.
Its just not very realistic.
But really if the woman has a child or has an abortion. We as fathers and/or potential fathers have no rights ne way or the other.
