So while trying to watch Dr. Phil because it was about online dating and I needed to find some more opinions for something I've been a part of for a while, I realized it was instead about disputes over children. I heard quite possibly the best argument I've heard in a while and here's the jist of it...

A guy had gotten a girl pregnant. They started having sex with a condom but ended up not using it. Before they had sex, the guy told the girl that he was not ready to be a father and she reassured him that she was taking birth control pills and also had some other physical thing that didn't make it possible for her to have children. After she said that, he felt comfortable enough to take the condom off, she got pregnant and had the baby.

His argument was that it isn't fair that women have all sorts of choices to pursue if they don't want a kid, (putting the child up for adoption, abortion, leaving the baby at a hospital) but he didn't have ANY say in the matter. He's taking the case to the supreme court I think and I sure as fuck hope they rule in his favor.

Now don't come on some bullshit about how a woman has to go through the pain or some other whiny bullshit, because it was her choice to have unprotected sex as well. Shouldn't men not have to assume responsibility if they do not wish to have a child, considering all fairness?
