this is not true by a long shot. Repeat after me :MEN DO NOT HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO STOP THE MOTHER FROM MURDERING THEIR UNBORN CHILD.
HOWEVER, THE ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CHILD UPON DELIVERY.
Yes, that's true. The mother gets to decide if she wants to have the child, since it's going to grow inside her body. And yes, the child is genetically the father's. In practice, the amount of support most nondads pay is a pittance compared to the amount of time money and pain that goes into raising a kid on the mother's end. Again, I say, if you aren't prepared to face the consequences of your actions, don't act.
Women get their own set of unfairnesses, remember, before you cry yourself asleep into your beer. How about this one. If I get pregnant out of wedlock and keep the baby long enough to let it show, I'm a whore (in society's eyes). If I abort it, I'm a murderer (in christian eyes). Regardless of my choice, the father receives virtually no social stigma. He has to pay a few hundred bucks a month child support. And, much of the time, he doesn't even pay that.
Cocks are like guns. They can both be useful tools, but you better be damned sure you are ready to live with the consequences if you draw either one.
The fact is, if you're having sex with someone and you don't know what the plan is if she gets pregnant, you're not very bright. And if you don't face the music when it starts playing, you're not very bright, and not a man.
