Choice For Men is a group that is bringing attention to the "male abortion." They argue that "a woman can legally opt-out of if she gets pregnant. A man is stuck with fatherhood and that isn't fair, ergo she has more rights. So, he should have legal right to opt-out." I don't think that aborting a child or giving it up for adoption is a simple choice to make. And therefore not an easy way to "opt-out."
Choice For Men argues that if a woman becomes pregnant she should not be able to dictate what a man does with his body. In other words Choice For Men believes that if a man unintentially plants his seed in a woman and that results in an unwanted pregnancy he should have a choice as to whether he supports the child or not.
If a woman becomes mistakingly pregnant but wants to keep the child in spite of her partner's protest.. Well, the discrepancy between the two is an unfortunate problem to say the least. I can only imagine who outraged a man who has been raped by his female partner must feel when he hears that his former partner has become pregnant. Or if a woman is to be so evil as to take the semen from a used condom and it into her vagina. The anger and panic of a man who has to come to terms with this is I'm sure beyond my comprehension. However, because there is a life involved that does not get a say in the matter...I believe that it is that man's responsibility to assist in supporting it.
