As A Woman, I'll Be The First To Say Yes, Men Deserve A Say In Our Reproductive Rights

Let's not forget that they are expected to be a big part of every other step of a child's creation and development.

As A Woman, I'll Be The First To Say Yes, Men Deserve A Say In Our Reproductive Rights

We've all heard the saying "my body, my choice." Men are told it's a wrongful entitlement to believe they should have a say in the life of their own unborn child. When a woman gets pregnant and everyone tries to blame her, there is almost always someone saying "it takes two." And that's true! It does take two to create a baby.

However, we tend to forget that when speaking on reproductive rights.

Whenever a baby is born, we expect the men to step up and take care of their children. Provide for them and spend time with them. So, how come a father only has rights to the baby once it is born?

If you are one of the women who tells men they have no say in you aborting his unborn child, you should never ask that man for a dime, a minute of his time, or a favor, should you have the child. I understand that the men don't have to suffer through the pregnancy, but we as women chose who we lie in bed with (with exceptions that I don't feel apply here).

How can anyone feel it is morally OK to be able to kill a man's child without his permission, but should we make the choice to not abort, force him to pay child support?

These aborted babies all belong to someone. Men are suffering in silence over losing babies that they are told they have no right to. The psychological effects on men whose unborn children are aborted are real and they are long-lasting.

Some men support their partner's decision and still struggle with the aftermath of emotions. Imagine begging a woman to not abort your child and having her do it anyway.

Give these men a voice. Give them their rights.

Men should have an equal say in the life of the baby they helped to create. Feminists will the first to say that I'm wrong, but feminism is about equality and support. Speak like a true feminist and support TRUE equality.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
