29. Men have a say at only one point
and that's at the point when they decide whether or not to wear a condom. Once that stuff leaves your body, fellas, it no longer belongs to you. If men whine about condoms and refuse to be proactive, then they've lost their right to decide anything, including support of a child should the woman decide to risk continuing the pregnancy.

Bearing children is a risk free proposition to men. It's not so for women. Bearing a child involves considerable risk to health, finances, social support, career, and LIFE. It has to be up to the woman in question to decide whether or not to assume this risk. It's her body, her risk, her life, and her decision.

Women who are in healthy relationships will always consult their partners, even though the decision is theirs alone. If any men out there want their opinions listened to, then it's up to them to create healthy relationships.

There you have it, guys. If you hate abortion, then wear a condom. If you are terrified of being hauled into court for child support after a one night stand, then wear a condom. It's your way to have a say and to protect yourself, as well as your partner.
