Search Results: pregnancy and abortion

Somebody else made a poll asking if women should need permission from the child's father to get an abortion. Most men said yes.

So if women should need the fathers' permission to """kill""" the fetus, then shouldn't fathers need the mother's permission to abandon the fetus during pregnancy?

If women can be charged with murder for their actions during pregnancy, then men can be charged with neglect (neglecting the child) if they fail to support someone they impregnated:

"Fathers who were involved with their partners during pregnancy reduced the risk that the children would die in the first year of life.
Infants whose fathers were absent— and had no involvement in the pregnancy— were more likely to be born with lower birth weight and to be born prematurely. The death rate of infants whose fathers were not around was nearly four times that of infants whose fathers were involved."

FOUR times. For a man to abandon his pregnant spouse raises the risk of infant death AS MUCH AS if the mother used drugs during pregnancy... which I'm sure most of you would agree shouldn't be legal, right?

If the father doesn't financially support the pregnancy, then it would be necessary for the mother to work full-time; studies show that working more than 32 hours during pregnancy is as risky to the pregnancy as smoking. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1519650/Working-32-hours-a-week-or-more-in-pregnancy-is-as-risky-as-smoking.html

With all this being said, it's clear that if a man doesn't financially support the pregnancy, he's neglecting his child. If women need a man's permission to relinquish their physical responsibility of pregnancy, then men should need the woman's permission to relinquish their financial responsibility.

Hides the fact of her pregnancy and abortion.
