If I were to impregnate someone, and wanted to keep the child (which I most certainly would), there would be NO abortion. I would consider it cold blooded murder. If one of the two parents wants the child, there is no veto power. If the guy leaves, he is an ass, and should be castrated. Don't use that as an exuse. Thoughts? I want to know what you guys think.

I didn't even want to get into this, but since you brought it up . . .
I think guys should have some right to decide on a personal, emotional level, but absolutely none on the legal level. If your girlfriend wants to consider your personal feelings, that's fine, but I don't think there should ANYWHERE be a law that if the guy doesn't want an abortion, she can't have one. That is beyond ridiculous.
If my boyfriend and I had sex and we got pregnant, and he wanted to keep the baby while I wanted to abort it (which would not happen, thank god, because we are on the same page regarding this) I would say, "That's great -- if you are willing to be the one who carries the baby for nine months, suffer from morning sickness and all the things MereMere listed above (which are bad enough in women who WANT to have kids, but are a thousand times worse in someone who didn't want to have a baby in the first place), drop out of school to take care of the kid and financially support it, then go ahead."
The woman is the one who traditionally ends up making 95 percent of the sacrifices, and a lot of the time the men don't have to make any. Whenever the guy wants to make 90 percent of the sacrifices, then I'll let him think about keeping the baby.
