Full disclosure
when I was in high school...a 17 yr old kid...myself and a young lady conceived...
I was scared as hell...didnt know what to do...but was ready to face the weight and responsibility that came with the decision I made to have unprotected sex
she ended up having an abortion after given an ultimatum by her mother which was essentially
have the baby and we disown you or abort and we act like this never happened.
I wanted to keep the child...but I also understood the position she was put in...so I just supported whatever she decided
there is not a day that goes by that I dont think about that life we created and what he or she could be right now.
Again it is my belief that neither party should be absolved of the concesquneces. However I am not naive to the fact that people dont like to be accountable and will avoid and sidestep the concesquences if allowed to...
so if a woman has the choice to get rid of a child legally against the will of the father....the man should be afforded that same choice to absolve all fiscal and legal responsibility against the will of the mother
