Let's not. :) If ethics are not part of our legal system, then there is no point to having a legal system.
Quote:Is it fair that a woman can escape the financial burdon of having a child but a man has no such right? Though abortion, a woman can opt out at any time, and does not need the man's permission. He has no say. She can relieve her self of any financial responsibility for consentual sex at any time. The man has no such option. Shouldn't a man have the same rights as a woman? Yes or no... Women have the right to choose... And men and women are equal yes? So where is the man's right? It does not exist.

I can conceive. You cannot. That is unfair. Neither of us can change that.
Women carry (pun intended) the burden of child-bearing responsibility. There are health consequences to all aspects of that responsibility. Abortion, pregnancy and child-birth all can have serious health consequences to the woman, both physical and emotional. There are no such consquences for a man.
We are not equal in this matter.
