Reply #137: Yes, but it's also the woman

[liberalhistorian]

who is usually held most accountable and most responsible. Men can fuck and then go their merry way if they want, and far too many of them do. Biologically and culturally, they can get away with it, and far too many of them do.

My ex-fiance threw me out of the house when I was three months pregnant and then proceeded to totally ignore me because "he didn't want to deal with it." Well, hell, neither did I, but I really didn't have much of a choice, did I? But I was the one held responsible, I was the one who had to go through the pregnancy and birth alone, and I'm the one raising him alone. His father bitches about paying the terribly meager monthly child support (enough to buy the kid a couple of tubes of toothpaste a month if I'm lucky), and has never paid for any clothes, food, school supplies and fees, or hardly anything else. And I've known an awful lot of women who experienced the same thing, and the men still aren't really held accountable.

Men used the abortion laws for over a century to control and intimidate women, and I'll be goddamned if they're going continue to do the same thing now. You don't want the woman to have an abortion, or you don't want any kids, keep your dick in your pants. It's that fucking simple, pun intended.
