Search Results: man having a baby

Ok. Before y'all go ham steak on this question, let me first say my side. This is a question for my criminal justice class, and its a question that I am very passionate about, like I'm going to assume many of you will be as well. So, to begin, I say no. A woman shouldn't be seen as anything other than a criminal in court. In fact, I think she should be seen as worse, if she is willing to commit a crime pregnant or with kids. To me, it's undermining the role of men and fathers if they get treated harsher for not having the ability to conceive a child (i mean birth, I know men have sperm and make babies with that. Ok? Ok) Do I think if a woman is pregnant and is convicted of a crime that she needs to be dealt with a bit differently? Only until the baby arrives, cause the baby inside her didn't ask to be put in a woman who likes to cook meth or stab someone. I also mean that she should get the amount of time a man would get, but I believe abortion should be an option or have her be put in solitary until the baby arrives, and when the baby arrives, have it be taken in CPS, or a family member, then have her be put back with the other inmates. I don't view "motherhood" as a get out of punishment free card, I just think, its more of a burden, for courts and the child itself.
Ok... and... your thoughts?

SIDE NOTE! Please be respectful to other views, or try to be. We all know the courts and how they deal with things, to many it's unfair, to some its not. While id love to hear your opinions, just remember, not all mothers do crimes, not all men deserve to be put in jail and all the stuff. And most importantly NOT ALL WOMEN HATE MEN AND THINK WOMEN SHOULD RECEIVE SPECIAL TREATMENT, NOR DO WE FEEL THAT THE COURTS TREAT MEN THEY WAY THEY SHOULD, BECAUSE a lot OF THE TIME WE AGREE THAT MEN ARE TREATED UNFAIRLY WITHIN THE COURT SYSTEM!!
