Legal male abortions
A new is being proposed in Sweden that will allow men to legally opt out of fatherhood until 18 weeks.
Maybe this can knock down these GUBMs a peg or two....

If only it could be
If only it could be retroactive....
I'd be willing to relocate to Sweden.
This sounds awesome but how
This sounds awesome but how long do you think it will take before late notice of pregnancy begins?
Well, they just want to make
Well, they just want to make sure their sisters don't screw them over with child support :sick:

Yes the authors of the law are crazy but the idea behind it is provocative.
Yeah...I think this is "fair"
Yeah...I think this is "fair" given that women can choose whether or not to be a mom (regardless of the father's wishes, a woman can always choose to terminate) but men can't choose whether or not to accept the same level of responsibility. However, I think that a lot of women are already pressured into abortions by men who threaten to leave or desert...so I ultimately see this law as fair but not right, I guess.
I was thing the same think

Maybe if men thought with the head on top of their body they wouldn't have to worry about what the bottom one did. I think women should have the right to choose period. It's their body being affected either way.
It is both partners responsibility to protect against an unwanted pregnancy. If neither do it and it results in a pregnancy then neither should be allow to be off the hook.
Pay for what? Most children
Pay for what?
Most children have two legal parents. Those two parents are expected to provide financial support throughout the life of their child.
If one parent chooses a legal abortion, that parent will not provide that financial support.
So if the other parent chooses to have the child anyway, they do so anticipating that they will be the sole financial support for that child.
There are some people who would choose to abort at that point, knowing that they can't afford to provide for their child on their own.
I really don't know what to say about parents who knowingly having children they can't support, which is actually the same as having children with no intention of supporting them. But then again, no matter the circumstances, I've never known what to say about that.
Sorry, I'm not an American
Sorry, I'm not an American and I don't understand half of your list and much of the rest is not an expense where I live.
That being said, my comment was specifically a response to HRNYC's question: "Its not an abortion, as the child will still be born. Then who has to pay? The taxpayer?"
And like I said, I don't know what to say about parents who have children with no intention of supporting them.
