Oh please. If you actually cared about that, you would be a sympathetic to a woman having the right to do what she wants her own body. That includes aborting a fetus.So you're just ignoring the sentence when I said I don't believe a man should be legally obligated to stay so long as abortion is legal?As long as abortion is legal, you and I agree.I know a man blowing his load requires no labored effort, but surely men must realize the consequences of such an action if a woman ends up pregnant and keeps the baby. If conservatives cared about personal responsibility, they would address this.
Personally i don't think a man should be legally obligated to stay, but I also support a woman's right to choose. Everybody wins with that compromise.
I think when it comes to "personal responsibility", male RWs will pontificate about it endlessly when it serves to self-righteously shame easy targets like single mothers on welfare. It just makes them feel better about their own insecurities I guess. When it comes to issues closer to home like a father's role in the child's life, they keep their mouths shut like the hypocritical cowards that they are.
That's no compromise, the 14th Amendment requires equal treatment under the law. If the woman has a right to terminate her parental responsibilities, the man should have the same right.
Funny, not what you said in the OP.
I know a man blowing his load requires no labored effort, but surely men must realize the consequences of such an action if a woman ends up pregnant and keeps the baby. If conservatives cared about personal responsibility, they would address this.
The point I was making in your bolded example is that conservatives shame abortion but don't at all acknowledge the problem of a mother raising a child on her own if the father cuts and runs. They don't at all shame a man for doing this. It's just easier for them to berate a single mother on SNAP.
Well that's just a lie, we've been talking about regressive policies destroying the family and about absentee fathers. You're just not listening.
