But Will You Still Respect Me in the Morning?
More on pregnancy rights for men. If a woman lies to a man, assuring him that it is safe to have sex and she has taken care of protection, is that a verbal contract? Or is it irresponsibility on the man's part to take the woman's word for it? Particularly if it is the man and not the woman who, at this time in his life, does not wish to have children.
That gives me an idea on trying to come up with a solution for the "Roe v Wade for Men" movement. It's perfect and it helps weed out the undesireables for us ladies in our neverending quest to catch a man. The man has to present a written contract to the woman, before he has sex with her (it can be at dinner or in the heat of the moment, which ever), that states that if her egg and his sperm should meet and take a liking to each other during the throes of passion he will not be held responsible financially or otherwise...and the woman has to sign it before de-pantsing and her thong finds itself hanging from the ceiling fan. This legal document would prove two things, nevermind that it adds a whole new dimension to the term "court"-ship.
First of all, it let's the woman know just what kind of man she is getting herself involved with. A man who is just looking for a good time. One who is not ready and/or afraid of committment. One who will leave her high and dry should she find herself pregnant after he willingly deposits his seed in her body. And one who probably won't call her in the morning... because (and this is the second thing) if the woman DOES sign it, it shows that she is the kind of woman who would have sex with a man like that, and she probably isn't the type to take home to mother.
What a useful tool for finding Mr. or Mrs. Right. I believe that it is the responsibility of both parties to take care of birth control. If a woman doesn't want to find herself pregnant, then she damn sure better make sure she doesn't. Same for a man. If he doesn't want to have children, he better make damn sure he doesn't knock her up. Take responsibility for your own birth control, use it properly, and responsibly, and maybe, just maybe that roll in the hay that rocked your world won't come back to...well... really rock your world.
Another angle of this arguement that I haven't heard much discussion on, is that if BOTH parties did not intend for a pregnancy to occur, and BOTH parties agree on abortion as an option, the man is not required to help the woman in any way. He does not have to drive her to the doctor, hold her hand, or pay for half of it. He is not required legally (perhaps morally)to offer emotional or financial assistance. He literally gets to walk away, unscathed.
