I said that from the very beginning. The whole mother getting all the say is an absolute joke, just like the mother getting custody 9 times out of 10, but thats a whole different subject.
The female gender will always be the first to scream "it takes two to make a baby", when the father is not willing to accept responsibility. They will also be the first to scream "it\'s my body" when the father does want to accept responsibility for child.
They are ignorant to the fact that it takes two, when it comes to that situation. It is their body and the man has no say in the situation, which is really quite sad. We as a society are always pushing for males to step up and want the child they help take care of, but when given the chance, the final choice goes down to the woman, even if it did take two.
As for the female gender getting custody of a child in a divorce, that is due to the fact that the court and general population think that the mother is the only one in the childs life. Not to mention it being just another piece of evidence of the new sexist role reversal. At one time, guy\'s had all the power and the women screamed that it was "sexist". Then came equal rights and now women have more power than a man could ever imagine and guess what it\'s called? It is called "equal rights", even though it is nowhere near equal.
If you are ever in a divorce, your chance of getting the child is very slim, if you are a male. The court\'s will say the kid needs someone to develop and care for the kid - as if a father is unable to do this. Fact is, for a woman to lose custody of a child, she would have to be a convicted crack addict and unable to stay out of jail. That\'s about the only way.
There is no such thing as "equal rights" it\'s just a nice way of saying \'role reversal sexism\'.
With all that said, pills such as "the morning after pill" only serve to make the abortion process easier and less and less personal. It is akin to the old days of firing squads. You line one man up, blind fold him, get a 100 other guy\'s, 99 of them have a gun with a blank and one has a gun with a bullet. They fired and no one knew who done the killing. Extremely inpersonal. The morning after pill is the same thing. You take it after sex - you may be pregant, you may not. You don\'t stop and think about it , you don\'t deal with the "shame" of going to a clinic and everything is fine. The female can tell herself she was never actually pregant and that she has never really done an abortion and if she did, well, the fetus was only a day old, right?
