Women have reproductive freedom. They can have casual sex and say to hell with the consequences because of abortions.

Men have no such freedom. For all of the talk about women being equals, and wanting the same rights as a man, it still boils down to this one little bone in the craw. I still think, for some circumstances, men should have the same ability as a woman to simply shrug off the consequences for casual sex. And I believe that men should also have the same rights for reproductive freedom. Men should have the same right to abort. Ok, maybe not physically, but financially.

This thread has been most interesting and has really caused me to sit down and think about what is "fair."

It's a tough issue. I do not believe there are any simple answers, but it is important to think about.

"A chicken and a pig are together when the chicken says, "Let's start a restaurant!".
The pig thinks it over and says, "What would we call this restaurant?".
The chicken says, "Ham n' Eggs!".
The pig says, "No thanks, I'd be committed, but you'd only be involved!"."

I'm not saying that women are pigs, but they are in the sense of pregnancy in this story. After conception, men are merely involved and have only opinions.

I look at it this way, if you as a man want to have a say in what happens to the pregnancy, then for heavens sake get to know the woman before you knock her up. Form a committed relationship and in fact, get to know her so well you'd marry her, provide for her and her children, and take care of them the rest of your life. If you knew her, and she knew you well enough that she'd trust you'd follow through on your committments, maybe she'd listen to your opinions on your contribution to the fetus growing inside her.
