The Abortion Argument We Missed

[KevinTheOmnivore]

But you do, and that's my other point.

God help us, but you may be a father some day. As a society, we expect that you will take at least a financial interest in your child. It would be great if you actually stuck around, nurtured the child, taught him/her, and raised him/her to be a swell person.

How can society say to men that if you get a woman pregnant you damn well better take it seriously, and you also better understand your role in that relationship....unless of course it's while the woman is pregnant, in which case there's always that 9 month reconsideration period to think about your behavior in the matter.

We only start asking things of fathers after the fact. It seems to be a very alley cat approach to things, IMO.
