Search Results: parents interfere

In recent weeks, with the looming possibility (now reality) of Roe v. Wade being overturned, I have read countless comments from women saying that men should do more to support women in their fight for reproductive choice. But I've not seen any of them supporting men's right to reproductive choice. Not one.

The argument women use is one of "bodily autonomy", but studies show the vast majority (96%) of abortions are for reasons like not being emotionally ready to become a parent, not wanting a child to interfere with education or career plans, not being in a stable relationship or not having the financial means to support a child. In other words, all the same reasons men might not be ready to become a parent.

So the bodily autonomy argument is disingenuous at best, but they have to use it because the true reasons women choose abortion are the same ones men have to not want to become a parent, but don't have the right to exercise like women had before Roe v. Wade was overturned. It's about personal autonomy, not bodily autonomy, and both women and men should have equal rights to personal autonomy.

I'm talking about men having the right to a "paper abortion", which means signing away all their parental rights and responsibilities early enough in the pregnancy that the mother could still choose to have an abortion. That would require that women must notify the father she is pregnant, but today men don't have the right to know they have a child, born or unborn. A woman can have a man's child and never tell him, or she can choose to tell him years later and demand child support having already robbed the father of many years with his son or daughter.

So guys... if women were more supportive of YOUR right to "personal autonomy" and to know you have a child in the world, would you be more likely to advocate for women's right to personal autonomy (i. e., abortion)?

I really hate change, but my stepdad loves change. Normally I make it to the gym on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. But I can't go today.

All of my gym clothes were dirty and I was going to put them in the dryer but my stepdad won't let me because he was sleeping and he is very strict and told me to turn off the light from the room. I am explaining because my job coach normally takes me and I already let her know.

This is what I don't like about my stepdad, he is very picky. I want to move out. I am tired of living with him and I'm serious about it. I have seen NO OTHER PARENT behave like this. His tone is very aggressive, he behaves juvenile, and his social mindset is stuck in the 1970s-80s.

I told my mom about this and she responded that it's because he sleeps in the living room, which I DON'T want him doing because it interferes with my freedom, even if there isn't enough room for him to sleep in the same bed as my mom and my halfbrother.

My mom has very high expectations for me because I am autistic.
