<< ... why then should a woman opt for an abortion and the man have NO SAY in the decision? >> If men carried the baby, instead of women, there would be ten times the number of abortions, and it would be totally legal in all countries, at any fetal month.

Hi Master! Nice to see you! I don't WANT it both ways- if I implied this, it was unintentional. I DO believe that a man should be told if he has fathered a child and a decision be made mutually, though I realize how sticky this can get. I find casual sex and casual dismissal of an accidental product of that sex abhorrent, and would hope that, with both parties acting in a caring and mature way, a different solution would be reached. What I was objecting to was the really outrageous, vulgar stand that someone took- an extreme that obviates any further discussion and any possibility of reconciliation. To me the topic wasn't abortion at all, but an attitude toward women. I don't discuss abortion usually; it is such an endless and unproductive (ooo-a pun!)debate!
