Men's Choice

I've been avoiding really talking about the how men view abortion because I want to avoid drawing a picture with a very wide brushstroke. But in searching on reproductive rights in hopes of finding current articles on how Roe v. Wade is in jeopardy, I came across this questionable national organization. The http://www.nationalcenterformen.org/ is leading efforts for "men's choice." From their website:

OUR PHILOSOPHY. Our philosophy has always amounted to this: We believe that men should enjoy the same choices, freedoms and privileges in their lives that women now take for granted in theirs. It is just that simple and that basic and that important to us.

OK. So let's take a look at what this would mean in reality.

• You want a 25 percent reduction in pay.
• You want your sexual partner to leave you with the entire decision about whether to abort, adopt, or have the financial and social stigma of raising a child.
• You want to be looked over for employment because in the future you may have a child and therefore be less dedicated.
• When your partner does get pregnant, you will be forced to gain the weight, experience the hormone fluctuations and lack of sleep, and experience the very painful act of childbirth. And let's not let that work suffer while your spouse is pregnant.
• Your sexual partner will refuse to use any form of contraception leaving you to take the responsibility yourself. You see, all forms of contraception that women can take reduce her ability to feel an orgasm. So, therefore, she should not have to use them.
• And if your method of birth control fails, it must be that you were trying to trick her and leave her with the financial responsibility of a child.

There's one right we will not give you guys though. You will never have the right for your sexual partner to deny her maternity and just walk away from the situation leaving you with the child to care for and the social stigma of being a "loose hussey who sleeps around and falsely accuses women of being the mother of his child."

Nope! We're not going to share that one guys. That's a privilege that we will not give up.
