You admire his stance? You just finished saying how you thought pregnancy is primarily the responsibility of the woman, yet you admire him saying he will do whatever it takes to keep a woman from accepting that responsibility? If he were saying he would do whatever it takes to prevent the woman from having his child, would you still admire his stance?
Quote:I wish more men in this world would step up the way he is willing to. He is concerned about the life of what would be his child. What's wrong with that? He would love his child and protect it even at the expense of breaking the law to keep his child safe. And anyone would find fault with that? I certainly don't think he would go out and kill anyone over it, do you?
How do you get this from his remarks. He's only said that he would go to extremes to prevent an abortion, but gave no indication of his willingness to be a parent, and even less indication that he would be a very good one.
Quote:There are so many men out there that flat out don't care if a woman aborts their child or not. They don't want the responsibility. Johny Creasy would stand up for that child no matter what. He is choosing the life of an innocent child over the irresponsibility of a woman (if she decided to abort). And that's wrong? That's funny?
There are also a lot of men out there who think they get to decide the future of a woman just because he was lucky enough to boink her. There are some who think that "whatever it takes" includes aggressive, illegal, and immoral acts. For many men, it's more about preserving their perceived power over "inferior" women than it is about committing to raise a child.
