Do you think the dad has a say in abort. ion?

If a guy gets a girl pregnant, and the girl wants to keep it, but the dad wants her to get an abort. ion, do you think it’s fair if the girl doesn’t listen and keeps it anyway? Leaving the dad to have to support the child? Yeah, ‘’if he didn’t want it, he should have worn protection’’… but with that aside, do you think it’s fair?

Answer #1

I believe that in the end, the mother should have the final say since she is the one carrying the child and providing it with life. However, i dont think that a father who wants nothing to do with the child and no custody or visitation should have to pay child support.

Answer #2

It is the womans choice, but the most important thing here is the well being of the child. Whatever decision is made it is important to think about the future of the child and how and by whom he/she will be cared for.

Answer #3

i think the mother should always get the say. its in her body, even though the male help make it, he should have an opinion, but altimatly its the mother’s choice; in my opinion.

Answer #4

i think that the guy should definitely have a say in it but i also think that ab0rtions shouldn’t be so easily performed without a valid reason….

Answer #5

Yes, I do. I’d be p!ssed of I knocked up some chick I didnt care about on accident and she was going to keep it and make me pay child support. I know, I know use protection and what not, but sh!t happens and portection fails, if she wants to keep it and I dont then I shouldnt have to pay child support, you’re the dumb b!tch who wants to keep the useless thing, so keep it and keep me out of it.

Answer #6

“you’re the dumb bitch who wants to keep the ‘useless’ thing” Are you serious??? I can’t believe you just said that! If people cared to take precautions before screwing around, especially with someone they don’t give a crap about, these kinds of things wouldn’t happen! Sex might be the thing that ‘everyone else is doing’ too, but if you don’t know how to control your ding-dong and the stuff that comes out of it then you should stay away from it until you are ready to take responsibility for whatever should happen after that!

Answer #7

I think it’s completely the womans choice- she’s the one who has the have the baby.

Answer #8

Uhm, I am serious. Like I said, sh!t happens and sometimes protection fails. I stand by my statement 100%. And whether or not you give a sh!t about the person really has nothing to do with it, I was just throwing out the worst case senario.

Answer #9

You’re awesome Michelle xD

Answer #10

So are you, Conny-Bear! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Answer #11

Guy gets girl pregnant, Takes two to tango, but if the guy doesnt want to have it, it should still be up to the girl, my best friend was forced to abort her baby by someone who supposedly loved her. No one should be pressured into having an ab@rtion, no one should have to listen to other peoples oppinions. The guy shouldnt get a say in it. Unless he cares about the girl….but even then…i think he should shut his mouth unless he wants to keep it. Girls body, Girls life about to be put on hold, Girls body thats about to be sacrificed to cradle the darn thing. And as for child support. its his blood, if he is going to deprive his child of having a father, he should at least pay some money to make the kids life a little easier.

Answer #12

NO! His chance to “say” something was back when he decided not to practice safe sex. What is happening to the woman is HER body and HER say. I do think that it is a good thing if both can get together on what to do - abord, adopt, or raise - but SHE should always have the final say.

Answer #13

Protection seldom fails IF it is used correctly. I am glad that you use it - congrats - but if a condom should fail, don’t forget that the morning after pill is 85% effective if taken right away. I know a guy that keeps PLAN B in his medicine cabinet “just in case”

Answer #14

I think that the mother should have the final say in it. I do think that the woman should consider the man’s opinion, however, at the very least.

Answer #15

“you’re the dumb b!tch who wants to keep the useless thing”. LMAO great answer! Honestly I feel the exact same way. Michelle said it all

Answer #16

I think its something that should be discussed by both people involved, but ultimately, its the womans decision. After all, it is her body, she is the one who will have to go through the procedure, and any emotional distress it may cause her afterward. If she decides to keep the child, and the father doesnt agree, then yes, he should pay child support. He may not agree with the decision to keep the baby, but he made the choice that lead to the childs conception, so he has a responsibility. He cant just turn around and say because the woman didnt do what he wanted he has no responsibility. He made a choice, and choices have consequences, whether you like it or not.

Answer #17

do you guys really think that statement is funny? if you do you disgust me. people like you are the reason i think the human race is the most horrific abomination ever created. how could you talk about a living thing like that. how could a life mean that little to you. that could be the person that cures cancer or something huge like that and you call it useless. anyone who thinks like this is worthless and is just a waste of space. you should be ashamed of yourselves. you may not want it but it came from you and so what if sh!t happens. you take that risk every time you have sex. it’s your responsibility to take care of that child whether you want to or not. if you dont want to deal with it keep it in your dam pants! ugh. humans can be horrible creatures.

Answer #18

Yeah, but it might end up as some serial killer or something too. So, whatever. It’s useless until it’s old enough to actually do something. When it’s a baby it just sh!ts and cries alot. You have your opinion and we have ours so chill out. And, you’re right :) humans can be horrible creatures. With all your whining and lecturing, you seem to be exhibit A :)

Answer #19

yeah and they might end up like you guys who would abandon your child just because you want to keep some money. and one thing ive seemed to notice…..no one is a serial killer just because….it often has to do with something happening to them like having a selfish parent who thinks of them as a worthless waste of space. and if telling people to do something that is morally right and ultimately their responsibility makes me a horrible creature then i enjoy being one

Answer #20

Yes we humans are horrible creatures. I think we’ve already established that

Answer #21

You bastards, yu don’t deserve the grace of any female…or male if you are that selfish and cruel, you dont really even deserve to get with your right hand but I’m leaving tht alone…

Answer #22

I don’t think I would have referred to any of my children as a “useless thing”…that was uncalled for.

Answer #23

Why does everyone assume they didn’t use protection? Protection fails, condoms break, birth control isn’t 100% effective. The chick should be insuring they use protection too, why the f*ck is that solely the guys job? Damn.

Answer #24

Again, I stand by what I said, if you guys don’t like it, tough. Babies are useless. Just because I believe in ab0rtion doesnt mean I dont deserve to be with anyone and I would never have to “get with my right hand”. Thanks.

Answer #25

Aslo, I’m most certainly not worthless, and if I were it wouldn’t be because I am pro-choice. Un-born fetus’ are worthless, not me. :)

Answer #26

“It’s his blood” he should have a say in whether or not “his blood” circulates through another living thing. Also, if he didn’t want to have it, he shouldn’t have to pay for, whther it be child support or anything else. If you can afford the baby, you shouldn’t have the baby. Yes, it takes two people to reproduce and should take two people to raise a child, but if you don’t want it, you shouldnt have to pay for it.

Answer #27

shouldn’t have to pay for IT- WHETHER it be child support- *If you CAN’T afford the baby-

Answer #28

So, you admit you were worthless at one time - good thing your parents didn’t agree with your ideal.

Answer #29

Yes, I was worthless at one time, I’m thankful my parents were ignorant and decided to keep me even though neither one of them had a job or had any idea what it actually took to raise a child, granted my mother had, had three kids and an abort.ion by the point, but none of her kids were living with her at the time. They didn’t think about what it would take, they thought, oh it’s just a baby, that’s easy. They werent thinking about how babies grow up, they don’t stay babies forever. I’m SO glad they kept me, though. I’m glad to be alive, all though my father’s life would be so much better than it is now if he had’nt had me. I almost think, my being happy to be here is selfish.

Answer #30

I’m sorry, Michelle, I simply can’t agree with your logic - there are millions of people who have babies because they want them and they can raise them, and it’s unfair to label all babies as useless. My children are my life, and even before they were born, they had purpose.

Answer #31

I couldnt have said it better myself Stephanie Riggsbee!! And, To the brain-less tw@t …..’satanheadbangstometal’ Your input is pointless and infuriating, Your logic is messed up, Your parents had no idea how to raise a child? Explains what went wrong with you then doesnt it? Ever so sorry, but you seem like a total bitch, ive never met you and you already disgust me.

Answer #32

Whoa =/ name calling definitely isn’t neccesary ‘katielou’

Answer #33

name calling is nececary when someone is so stupid and infuriating like that m’dear. its an oppinion;) everyones aloud to voice their oppinion arnt they ? :P

Answer #34

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it when people get angry. It’s amusing. My logic isnt messed up in the slightest. As for me seeming like a bitch, I am a bitch, that’s probably why I seem like one. I love how people don’t know how to debate without it turning into a bunch of kindergarten name calling. You obviously have no reasoning for what you believe otherwise you would have been using it to back up your pro-life point of view instead of calling me names like a two year old.

Answer #35

Im not wanting a debate hun, and no, i just like saying what i think of you:) Bye:)

Answer #36

It shouldn’t be just his job, but if he can’t completely trust the girl, it can be his legal obligation for the next 18 years if she gets pregnant - so considering that, don’t you think that it is a good idea that he MAKES it his job?

And like it or not, courts usually rule in favor of the mother having to sole final say - even over the say of the mother-to-be’s own parents.

Answer #37

Not the final say so. But he does have an opinion right? I mean understand your fathers side. But when it comes to that it’s really you.
