Paris Exposed - Paris Hilton Sex Tape

In situations where the woman did not have a choice in sexual activity (such as rape and incest), then the criminal who forced sex certainly should have absolutely no voice in what womb-related actions occur.

So, if a woman became pregnant as a result of a gang rape, then she does not need the permission of any man to have an abortion. The same holds true for any type of rape, including marital and statutory.

Or try another scenario: she consented but her consent wasn’t legally effective because she was too young. In other words, it was a statutory rape, but not a forcible rape.

Your questions related to promiscuity show that the two-person abortion approval is logistically unfeasible when a woman chooses to have multiple partners over the short period of time during which conception could have occurred.

How about this? If a woman lists a man as the father of her unborn child, he has a say in the abortion decision. If she cannot with definitiveness state the owner of the sperm that has found its way to her womb and therefore she has no father for her child, then she can has the right to make the abortion decision all by herself. But, she also loses the right to have a variety of guys tested after the baby is born to determine paternity and get child support.

I am tired of women being portrayed as weak victims of their own sexual choices. On those ridiculous shows like Maury, I get just as frustrated with the women who slept around without concern for the consequences as I do with the moronic “men” who loudly assert their lack of resemblance to the child and tell the audience that the woman with whom they once chose to be intimate has been naked with every dude in town. Sounds like bad sex decisions are being made all over the place!

Even if the man wants an abortion, he is still financially obligated to pay for the child the woman chooses to have (see every episode of Maury for examples). Same goes for the reverse. If the man does not want the abortion, then the woman can surrender her custodial parental rights once the baby is born. She is still obligated to provide financial support, though.

Men and women are equal, right? Then we need to have equal consequences for the same decision to have sex. I do understand that the fact that the woman has to carry the child, and that is an unequal burden. But, that’s just a fact of life that cannot be altered.

What if it’s the other way around? The man wants an abortion and the woman does not. Do you think the man should have a “say” then?

Sarah at MooreThoughts has a great post about the say men should have in an abortion.

Thanks for the comment. I read the proposed law and agree with you that it’s ridiculous to deny an abortion if, for example, the male contributor to the situation cannot even be found. That specific law just made me think about the question of the rights of men concerning abortion in general, which is really what I wanted to discuss. I simply don’t buy the responsive argument made by some that it’s a woman’s body and ultimately her decision alone. If the sexual partner can indeed be located and he intends to care for the forthcoming child, his opinion does matter.
