In reality if men and women worked together more and we taught at an early age the importance of pregnancy and responsiblity to our children then men would not bounce town and I bet that a lot of abortions would go out the window. Men have a blame in this envoirment. Biologically speaking even though the woman deposits the sperm half of that ------(Fill in the blank to whatever you believe) is a mans. Are we saying for example women that have artificial insemination(sp) and carry the GEne of another man and woman in thier womb have the right to claim the child as thier own? Just asking the question not trying to generate drama.
