119. Consent to have sex does not = consent to parenting or childbirth
For either gender. I repeat that ad nauseum to any anti that says, "she made her choice when she spread her legs."

However, the decision to remain or not remain pregnant rests with the woman. The man can never take on the childbearing part, whether he wants to or not.

However once a child is born, it must be supported financially, and the state mandates that the biological parents do so, or find someone who will.

If consent to sex = consent to childbearing, then contraception would not exist.
