The Dilemma
Here is the real issue no matter how you feel about abortion:
In this society we place a great emphisis on women's rights(as we should) Yet in situations we hold men to a double standard. We state a man should be a father, support his women in all decisions but be passive in situations as she dictates (ie abortion). The reality of the situation is a court will favor a mother in tough calls most of the time.
We seem to measure fathers by the amount of money that comes out of thier pockets to the kids and signifigant others when in reality a man SHOULD have as much at stake with a child as a woman does.
In this society we look down upon men who do not work or are stay home dads. Yet we do not look as harshly upon women with these issues.
Old saying "BE A MAN, GET A JOB"
I will say this gives men the feeling that they are only good for the cash and giving th other 1/2 of the Gene!
