[net.women] Male responsibilities

welsch@houxu.UUCP (Larry Welsch) (03/31/84)

For the sake of argument, I'll agree, men have no rights when it comes to
the fetus.  Now, what responsibilities do men have?  Do men have any
responsibilities for their children?  Are children strictly the
woman's responsibility?  Remember when answering that we are agreeing that
men have no choice about about whether or not the child is born.

Next, again for the sake of argument, lets say I said that if either party
wants an abortion then the fetus must be aborted.  I have heard it argued
that women who have abortions have a lower mortality rate than women who
don't and the inconvenience is less. (I am not certain I buy either of
these arguments but say they are true).  Note, the only difference is that
I have defaulted to death as opposed to life.  Does that make a difference?
