Response to Daniel's Blog

Daniel you bring up a good point in regards to the point that men are equal to women in terms of that child. Men are just as responsible as women if a women is in fact inpregnated. This is why if the men an women are not together the man is required by law to pay child support if he does not wish to raise the child. Even if he does want to he still must help support the mother. This being said this goes against one of the all time staples of the pro choice argument. That a women has a choice to do what she wants with her body. If she believe she is totally in charge does that mean that she should be the only one to take care of the child? This where there is a double standard. The baby in many peoples eyes is just the mothers until he or she's birth and then the man becomes responsible. If women want the support of the father, as they should, they must say that the living being inside of them is equally his at as it is hers. This is where I believe your argument resides, not that the father can tell the mother what to do or vice versa. But both parents are equals and should have equal say in deciding the fate of the unborn child.
