Men have no right to reproductive choice

Would be parents should have equal rights. If a woman becomes pregnant, she has a right to abortion. The man has no equivalent right. If the woman decides to have an abortion, the man cannot stop her. If the woman decides she wants to be a parent and then keeps the baby, he also cannot stop her.

I agree that a woman has the right to abortion. However, if this is correct, a man should have the right to opt out of fatherhood.

Even if the man has been deceived by a woman telling him she is unable to have children or is using contraception or if she leaves him and takes a new partner, he is still forced to shoulder financial responsibility for that child.

This is the case whether or not he is allowed access - and even when he has not been told that he is the father for a number of years.

Neither are the rights of men who do wish to have involvement with their children upheld. Women are allowed to withhold access rights while still taking child support payments from the man, and the fact that it may be the woman who has opted out of the relationship is not taken into account.

I have set up a site www.didnthaveachoice.com to offer support to men who are being denied reproductive rights by this country's unfair laws. We welcome members who want to see true equal rights in this difficult matter. If you want to see true equality and a better, fairer system for men, women, children and the taxpayer, please join and give us your support.

I apologize. The link didn't go through. But don't worry though I'll post more.

Until then don't wait for me, google it, its called....."male abortion".

Well Mike I don't think staying away is a good idea cause if I never have stumbled across this website I wouldn't have met people like you and GL who claim, because I have facts, that Im a sexist.

Who claim I want to argue all the time, exc.

To answer all your questions GL......NO. Except for the first one.

Anyways why don't I post it again and watch how you ignorantly ignore them and then call me a sexist:

Floridagirl, you have been away?

Did you find another website to argue with men?

Or did you find a bloke? Did the pair of you end up arguing?

Are you hoping to argue again on here?

Is it me you want to argue with?

I work mornings & afternoons, this week afternoons, next week mornings, and so on throughout the year, mark up your diary, and when you need to argue, you know when I will be at home, or just advertise on here that you want to argue womans issues on here, (with men).

Don't be sorry, stay away!

There is no point entering into a futile argument with a blinkered fanatic.

MikeP 08-Jan-2010 09:41

Sorry I haven't been here in a while so you guys may have responded to my post that I can't see. Anyways Im back. Care to argue that men aren't as bad as women. Care to give me dumb opinions? Care to look at statistics that prove me wrong? How about it MikeP? GL?

Poor you with the headache! I am glad that you had a good evening and hope that you are over the hangover now. I had a nice New Year’s Eve too, not exciting but nice. We had a few friends over for a late supper and saw in the New Year together.

I will ask travelling friends to look out for that drink but I still like my G & T !

2009 was not a great year for us so I am hoping for better this year and wish you the same. Give the puppies a hug from me - I love puppies (well, who doesn't ?)

Hiya Kit,
I hope you had a good night. I know I did, as my head is still hurting.
You should try meukow if you get the chance, it's cognac with vanilla. It doesn't need anything but ice. It's better than a G&T. I don't know if it's being sold in the uk, as I get mine imported via a friend.The bottles are nice to keep, as they have a gold panther on, and my 5pence coins fit nice in them.

Hi Nicci,

I don’t mind a liqueur but I could not drink many of them, I prefer wine or a gin and tonic (having a few now to see in the New Year). Vanilla Meukow is a new one on me though.

That is great about the pups and they sound adorable.

Happy New Year

Hiya Kit.
Mom had the pup's 2 weeks ago.4 boys,3 girls.They are all ok, and sleeping at the moment outside my bedroom door.
I'm not a fan of wine.I'm a liqueur person. Give me Vanilla Meukow, Drambuie, Cointreau, southern comfort with plenty of ice and i'm happy.(not all in the same glass).
Anyway, i'm going to get my jiggle on as i'm running late already.
Take care and happy new year to you. x

I tried an Alco-pop once, out of curiosity. It seemed to be made of just concentrated lemon, a pound of sugar and rubbing alcohol. It felt as if the lemon was dissolving the enamel on my teeth so that the sugar could attack them more effectively. I think it was one of the worst things I have ever drunk.

I have a strong feeling that nicci would prefer a nice glass of wine.

Nicci, I have lost track of when the puppies were due. Have they arrived yet?

Kit 31-Dec-2009 20:05

Mr P,
I do show respect to those that deserve it, but I must admit, I have not shown you any praise for the position you hold.
You have done well.I don't think I could get into the right position to get my head up my own a*** let alone keep it there for as long as you have.
And don't worry, I don't drink alco-pop's. They are far too inferior for my refined palate.
