RE: Alimony: His Wallet, No Choice

in #abortion8 years ago

I think that a lot of women really consult their partners in whether to have an abortion, if they are in fact in an actual partnership.

My issue is not that you are claiming something unjust; maybe no one (man or woman) should have to pay child support, I don't know if that could work as a social policy or not. I think comparing men's involuntary paying of child support to women having choice to abort is a false equivalence.

"Men's choice, regardless of what he wants: To end up footing the bill."

It doesn't work out in reality that the male pays for the majority of the child's expenses!
Even if he has money. And if so, the father doesn't necessarily have more money than the mother. That is really subjective and individual, where the fact that women are the ones who get pregnant, give birth, lactate, are the primary care-giver of the infant, is universal (except maybe primary caregiver, a very small minority of men may end up as the primary caregiver to the child)

Plus, the man doesnt go through any of the health risks in abortion or taking the morning after pill, right?
