Men have rights, but they exercise them at an earlier time in the relationship, when they decide to have sex or not with a particular woman. The argument that men ought to have "equal rights" 50/50 when conception has already occurred fails to recognize that it is the woman who is in possession of the fertilized egg, zygote, whatever stage it's in, and he cannot exercise such a right without involving the woman and completely canceling out her right. Unfortunately, there is no way in which to transfer the whole operation from the female to the male.
Both man and women decide to have sex. Both enter into it voluntarily but only one of the parties is exempt from the consequences of that action. People argue that the man decided to have sex and are there fore responsible for the out come. The women also chose to have sex but are offered a way out that the man is not offered! How is this fair? If the deciding factor as to trhe mans responsibilty is the decision to have sex makes them responsible why is there a different criterian for the women.
Because the woman has the "football." It's in her body, not his. How would you make this "fair"? Is there some way in which the woman can give the man the zygote so that she is not the one who goes through pregnancy and labor and she is no longer involved, and he is the one who suffers the physical effects? You don't even understand the basics of human biology.
What if the man says he wants the fetus to become a child so she should not have an abortion, and then runs away when it is past time for her to abort the fetus? Is she supposed to go through pregnancy and then give birth and then throw the baby at him? Find him in some bar, hand him the infant, wish him good luck, and then go back to her former life, if it is still there, her health is intact, and she still has a job? At lot of these guys not only expect a woman to carry the fetus they created to term, they also expect the woman to care for the infant, walk the floor with a screaming baby, prepare bottles, change diapers, etc. Are these guys prepared to be a single parent to an infant? Would they have a nursery prepared and care provided when they have to be at work?
BTW: not all sex is consensual. It took a long time for it even to be recognized that a husband might rape his wife.
In any event, this is an issue between the man and the woman. It is NOT an issue for government.
