A woman controls her own body. A man controls his. They have equal control over their own bodies, respectively. The also have equal obligation at all times.And every scenario is completely controlled by the woman's CHOICE.You want complete control over the entire situation (pregnancy, life & death) then you should foot the entire bill.
Period
Nope. A man and woman's obligation are always equal. If a child is born, they are both equally obligated to support it. If she aborts, neither have an obligation. Its always the same.
What you're demanding is unequal obligation. Where a woman is always responsible for every child she bears, but a man can absolve himself of all responsibility of any child he fathers.
That dog won't hunt. As the obligation is to the child. Not the other parent. If the child exists, the obligation exists.
Lets look at the decision outcomes:
Woman Doesn't Want: Man Doesn't Want. Abortion, no one pays, no one wants to pay.
Woman Doesn't Want: Man Wants: Abortion, no one pays, man wanted to pay.
Woman Want's, Man Doesn't Want, Birth, both have to pay, man didn't want to pay.
Woman Want's Man Want's, both have to pay. both want to pay.
If you go by that, in two scenarios the men don't get what they want, in none of them does the woman not get what she wants.
See the imbalance? Now you can say the imbalance is fair, but you can't deny it isn't there.
'Getting what you want' isn't the standard. Obligation is. And in every scenario you cited, the obligation is equal.
If the child exists, equal obligation exists.
Your scenario would create either unequal control over their own bodies, where a man controls his body AND he controls hers. While a woman controls neither her own body nor his body.
Or your scenario requires unequal obligation. Where a woman is responsible for every child she bears but a man isn't responsible for any child he fathers.
Either scenario breaks.
