"If you can properly express to me the flaw in expecting a man to accept his responsibilities as a father, I'd like to hear it."
If the woman would wait until marriage to have a child, this would be of far less concern.
I don't have a problem with sex, but until the woman is ready to have a child, she should show some responsibility, and use birth control.
Birth control is readilly availible just about everywhere, and it is not prohibitively expensive.
"But this isn't about "a woman's body", this is about the baby, and you can only get a baby via the coupling of two people of the opposite sex."
The facts are are that the baby will be developing in the woman's body. The fact that a man's sperm is needed for the baby to get started in development is completely redundant. The woman knows that when she has sex with the man, the result will very likely be a developing human being inside her. As soon as she has had sex without using birth control, she invited the consequences. Thus, any unwanted pregnancy that occurs is her responsibility, not the man's. It is her body, her body parts, and thus she must care for them.
"The fact is that most abortions are enacted at the request of the male. And because the male didn't practice abstenence."
First of all, it doesn't matter who is asking for the abortion. If abortion is wrong, it shouldn't be allowed except when necessary for the woman's health, clearly.
Nextly, it is not because the male didn't practice abstinence. There is nothing wrong with sex, and it is entirely normal and natural for couples to be engaging in it.
The only thing is, they should realize, unless they use birth control, there is that chance of an unwanted pregnancy.
Clearly, then, if they wish to have sex (THAT IS JUST FINE WITH ME), they should take the actions necessary to prevent the woman from becoming pregnant, and requiring an abortion. Birth control should be used.
"I don't know if you've ever had sex before, but...it does take a penis being inserted into a vagina in order for a baby to be made. It's not hard to apply the same "keep it in your pants" dogma that you force upon woman, to the man as well."
I am not in favor of abstinence. I don't think it works, nor do I think it is natural. I'm in favor of making unnecessary abortions illegal. I'm in favor of women taking responsibility for their bodies, and using birth control so there is no need for abortions in the first place. That's pretty much it.
"This just simple logic."
No it isn't. The facts are are that the baby will be developing in the woman's body, not the man's, and that she accepted this when she had sex with the man, and did not use birth control.
The fact that a man's sperm is needed for the baby to get started in development is completely redundant. The woman knows that when she has sex with the man, the result will very likely be a developing human being inside her.
