Yes, handing someone years and years of pain and misery is awesome. We should also create mutants to eat our garbage, and keep them locked in cages. Their life would suck....but HEY....at least they are alive.

And again someone says what I am too afraid too. Thank you for being a braver man than I. I agree totally on this point.
And if he does he loses the right to have an input.
Men are not entitled to deciding what happens in a woman's body. It's got nothing to do with him. He may have gotten her pregnant, but a pair of chimps can do that. If the woman is not in her right mind a man could take it to court...but it is the woman's body, her life, that is being changed and altered. There is no inherant right of fatherhood given by the act of procreation. I know people who are closer to their step-father than their biological father. Biology has nothing to do with fatherhood.
If the mother doesn't want it, it should be put up for adoption.
And if she doesn't want to carry it to term? Adoption is fine as long as the woman is willing to carry it. But this is an abotion thread, not an adoption thread.
Also, an anology. I'm pointing a gun to your head. Is it my choice to pull the trigger? Yes. Is it morally justified? Hell no.
Bad anology. I can feel pain, and comprehend what is happening. A fetus cannot. Also it could be justified. What if I am secretly a rapist or murderer? You don't know. You make no point with this other than to cause a stir.
So because it is unwanted we should kill them ?
No. Not because it is unwanted, but because it is better to not to willingly spread misery and woe. It is worse to condem someone to a childhood of depression than kill them IMHO. When you kill someone that's it, game over. Or you can let them suffer for 18 years. If you get an abortion early enough it's not a human life. 3 monthis is (for me) when it becomes human. Before that...I don't give a damn.
But if prevention fails, take the goddam responsibility.
People who get abortions are taking responsability. They know they cannot give the baby the life it needs/deserves and so they are willing to live with the knowledge that a life inside them was ended by their hand. That takes a lot more strngth than people give credit for.
If one does not want to take the risk then take abstinence. As simple as that.
Simplification is a sign that a mind cannot handle the complexities of reality. It is not simple as that. Some people don't have a choice, like rape victims. Are you saying that they are irresponsible for getting raped? Cause using your line of logic that is what it sounds like.
