Shit there probably are laws that say that.

Varies state to state, which is part of the problem. The federal government pushed abortion but left it to the states to handle the rest of it.

But of course it's easy to force fatherhood upon men. Well, at least it's as easy to do that as it is to force motherhood upon women. I mean...you cannot actually force a woman to carry the child to term. Under-the-table and illegal abortions are a thing, and existed even in societies as conservative as victorian Britain. All you can do is toss the gal in jail if she gets caught. Well...same for dudes, they can either man up or get tossed in the clink. Life has consequences.....fair's fair. Sorry dudes, but I got no sympathy at all for scumbag guys who want to play around then leave the entirety of the consequence for that joint activity solely on the girl.

As an aside, Mick...you probably notice (and probably take a little confusion in the fact) that I argue on both sides of the abortion question. That's because I can live with it either way it goes, but within the confines of either side of it I prefer to see things done in as fair a manner as possible. I appreciate that you actually offer real discussion....this is an emotional subject and a lot of people can't discuss it flatly.
