I've never become pregnant except by express design. You should never impregnate anyone except by express design. If you do, be prepared to deal with the fact that you cannot force a woman to bear your child.
Adults were once presumed under the law to be able to make decisions and understand the possible consequences of those decisions -and that by engaging in consensual sex, both parties had also given implied consent to the possibility of pregnancy and parenthood. Neither had any "right" to end that pregnancy, neither had any "right" to duck out on that while only the other was legally held responsible. The law held both parties morally and financially responsible for that pregnancy and child.
Now the law has changed but only for women. The law STILL says men have not only given their implied consent to possible parenthood by consenting to sex, but they may NEVER withdraw that implied consent under any circumstances. Even the use of condoms and a (failed) surgical sterilization does not in any way mean a man has withdrawn this implied consent to possible parenthood. But the law today is based on a notion that women have NEVER given even implied consent to possible pregnancy by engaging in the identical act. And furthermore, even if a woman gave her direct consent and intentionally became pregnant -she can withdraw that consent at any time. Right up until mere seconds before her child draws its first breath. Only men can NEVER withdraw their implied OR direct consent to possible parenthood AT ANY TIME. They can only choose not to have sex in order to avoid unwanted parenthood. Which means that in reality, the future of that child and his father is hers to toy with. She can give her direct consent to have a man's child, remain pregnant for the full 40 weeks, wait until that fetus is viable and STILL have that child killed right in the process of being born. Or she can force a man to be a parent against his will. Whatever she decides can be based on nothing more than her personal WHIM, just woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day -whatever.
The law in effect says a woman has only consented to sex while a man has not only given his implied consent to parenthood, but also given the woman the sole power to decide whether HIS child will live or die, whether he will be forced to parenthood against his will -all because they BOTH engaged in the very same act that should have identical potential consequences for BOTH. Only way for a man to avoid any risk of unwanted parenthood is to forfeit all acts of sex -while legally women are ONLY consenting to having sex and are "victims" of that act if it happens to result in pregnancy. A "victim" of an act they CONSENTED to when that consequence is a well known consequence? While only the man is legally presumed to have consented to possible parenthood by consenting to sex? That is pretty amazing if you think about it. Does that mean only men are responsible for their own actions when they pick up an STD by consenting to sex -but women are just pathetic "victims" of that too?
There is a striking social phenomenon as a result of legalizing abortion -an unforeseen one but one that should have been once the law placed all accountability and responsibility for pregnancy solely on men and excused women who were allowed to legally avoid unwanted parenthood but also given the FULL RIGHT to not only force men to be parents against their will, but given the right to also kill that man's child even at the very last minute even for no other reason but her personal WHIM.
In the past a man could not blame the woman for being held responsible for that unwanted pregnancy. Both parents were in the same boat whether both, one or neither of them liked it or not. The law held both responsible for that pregnancy and child. But now the law allows women an escape that no man is allowed unless a woman ALLOWS it -and the law will back her up no matter what she decides she will force on that man -whether to kill his child or be forced to parenthood against his will. So when a man is being forced to be a father against his will, he knows EXACTLY who to blame for it. He correctly sees that it is the woman who is forcing him to parenthood against his will, not the law forcing them both to be accountable for that pregnancy and child. Now the law simply backs up her "right" to force him to be a parent against his will (and likewise would back her up if she chose to kill that man's child). While it will never force the same unwanted parenthood on her, and would never give a man the right to kill her child on the grounds that HE doesn't want it to live - even though both engaged in the very same act.
Which is why prior to legalized abortion, the most common cause of death among pregnant women was from complications of pregnancy. But now THE most common cause of death among pregnant women by far and away - is HOMICIDE. And murdered by the father of her child. Too many men not only know exactly who to blame for being forced to parenthood against their will -they act on it and kill both the woman and the child. Not exactly an act that celebrates a woman's reproductive "rights" when in reality, many men apparently see it is their subjugation to a woman's whims.
The law should treat both equally. Either both are morally and financially responsible for that child and neither may kill that child. Or neither partner has consented to the possible consequences of sex and neither can be forced to be parents against their will. But it should be the LAW that applies equally to both, not allow one gender the sole "right" to make a decision that has profound consequences for the other -who has no say at all. Since sex is the way to get pregnant, its hard to argue that only males know it is a possible consequence and ONLY males have given irrevokable implied consent to it.
