REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM for MEN

I love it when the lack liberal logic bites them in the behind.

Read the quote:
"More than three decades ago Roe vs. Wade gave women control of their reproductive lives but nothing in the law changed for men. Women can now have sexual intimacy without sacrificing reproductive choice. Women now have the freedom and security to enjoy lovemaking without the fear of forced procreation. Women now have control of their lives after an unplanned conception. But men are routinely forced to give up control, forced to be financially responsible for choices only women are permitted to make, forced to relinquish reproductive choice as the price of intimacy."

For those of you who treasure abortion, stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Because you can't have your legal cake and eat it too. I'll throw on any other cliche I can think of our of pure glee at the logic and strength of this position.

Monica Charen closes the argument beautifully:
"The point (and it is not one the feminists will find in their quiver) is that sexuality requires responsibility — and that doesn't just mean using birth control. It means that if you engage in sex you have an automatic obligation to any child that may result. Pro-choice women have been vociferously rejecting this responsibility for decades. It should come as no surprise that men are inclined to do the same."

Again we are back to personal responsibility. Funny how that works so well around the topic of abortion.
