ME: So you eat fish but not delicious pig or cow?
GIRL: Fish are different. I don’t like the way farm animals are treated. It’s inhumane. Some animals have intelligence and emotions. Have you seen those big brown eyes on cows?
ME: Changing the subject for a sec… you’re very pro-choice right? You believe abortion should be legal.
GIRL: Of course.
ME: You don’t have a problem with third trimester fetuses getting torn limb from limb and sucked out of the womb?
GIRL: Ugh, why do you have to say that? Are you anti-abortion or something?
ME: Actually, no, I have no problem with abortion. But then I have no problem with killing and eating cow either.
A big reason abortion has such wide acceptance is because the disgust reflex isn’t triggered. The bloody affair takes place hidden behind closed flesh, so to speak. If the womb were transparent, I doubt legal justification for abortion beyond the first trimester would exist.
A true sadist embraces cruelty even when, maybe especially when, he can witness the tortured writhings of his victim. Ever see video footage of a guy about to jump off a building? Some people in the crowd below will yell “Jump!” as the poor guy stands high above them, lonely on the ledge, contemplating a suicidal leap. Would you yell “Jump!” if you could clearly see that man’s face, etched with pain and sadness?

If you went back throughout history, you would find, believe it or not, that women tend to be the baby-killers from somewhere deep inside themselves. Always have, always will be. And there will always be women, and their pansy male enablers, who instantly try to pass the buck to those awful men. It is kind of a sign of immaturity – like how a teenager tends to blame his parents for his own shortcomings, rather than take responsibility on a personal level.
In London, it was known for women to drop unwanted newborns into the Thames. You can find similar stories from Rome or other civilizations. Today, it is still women dumping unwanted newborns in trash bins, or abandoning them similarly.
The Bible, whether you believe in it or not, still has some historical context that is valid… and there are many instances where it is shown that women were told enmasse to butcher their baby boys, and they complied!
“Amoral” comes to mind. And it is kind to say so, for if they were held to male standards, we would have to judge “moral or immoral,” and there is no getting off scot free in those definitions as there is with the definition “amoral.”

I also have no problem with abortion and, on a purely intellectual level, would not have a problem with the infanticide of the unwanted and resource-lacking (basically, those infants that later in life would be much more likely to cause societal problems). An infant fresh out of the womb has no more conscious capacity than a fetus, or a chicken for that matter, so I don’t see why it should be entitled to inalienable, adult human rights solely in virtue of having its umbilical cord cut off. While I do have this attitude on a purely intellectual level, I do admit, though, that the sight of actual infanticide would disturb me and uncontrollably make me think negatively of the infantilist.

I think there are something like 14 states that have this feature in regard to the unborn.
It used to be that the murderer had to know the woman was pregnant in order for two counts of murder to be leveled, but many have changed it to two counts of murder if it was unknown.
In fact, there was a case in Texas recently – in the past few years – where a pregnant woman asked her boyfriend to step on her belly, and punch her etc, in order to cause her baby to miscarry… he went on trial for murder for killing the fetus, despite the death of the baby being the woman’s choice.
Basically, a woman does not become pregnant when she actually conceives – not legally anyways.
A woman does not become pregnant until she chooses whether what is inside of her is useless clump of cells which she can flush down the toilet along with her other wastes (in which the killing is not murder), or she can choose that what is inside of her is not a mere piece of waste tissue, but instead a beautiful human life. (In which case, killing it is a form of murder – for example, it will be considered a human life the instant YOU get into a car accident with her and cause her to miscarry).

As scientifically understood, evolutionary processes exert no over riding purpose, direction or progress toward some specific, superior destination. One can not “seek to evolve” as all organisms currently alive are perfectly evolved to life on this planet, or they simply wouldn’t exist. The cockroach for example is quite highly evolved. It has survived and thrived before humans appeared and likely will be here after we are long gone.
The only control an individual could ever have over this process rest with their choice of mate. Historically morals and self restraint, taught by parents not the schools, have mediated this process and got humans to where we are today as a species. Pass on your genes or you contribute nothing to the species genetically. Don’t you see that abortion is rather oppositional to this?

Interesting post, and raises two very important points/questions for me:
1. Why is it Vegans have to moralize to everyone else about what they eat? I mean, why can’t they simply go about their business, not eat meat (or whatever) and live their lives? Why must they sermonize to the rest of us? No one is preventing or otherwise persecuting vegans for choosing to go meatless. Why do they have to give the rest of us such a hard time?
And
2. The question of abortion comes down simply to one of Reproductive Rights-either you’re for it, or you’re not. Being for it for only one half of the human population is, at least as far as American law goes, inherently flawed. Most Women want the option to abort, but they don’t want Men to have it either-just like they want the option to “game” Men in the dating/social sphere, but just look at how much fervor Game has garnered in what, less than a decade? The reason why is simple. They don’t want Men to have options.

Yes.
If women have the post coital event right to abort a fetus within the first 26 or 22 weeks of conception then men should have the right o abort their parental responsibilities within that time. Which women can take into account. We don’t tell women they should have kept their legs closed; or feminists insist that we don’t legally.
If women have the right to give their child up for adoption, in many states simply by leaving it at a firehouse or hospital no questions asked, then men should also have the post coital and post conception right to give the child up for adoption. (Which could be by the mother, if she earns or otherwise has the resources to do an adequate job.)
This business where women can put unwilling men into indentured servitude, quite literally enforce by guns and jail, for children they didn’t want but the woman post coitally wouldn’t have to either have or keep herself if she didn’t want the child, is outrageous. It’s deeply unfair.
The “best interests of the child” rubric shouldn’t overturn all other issues of fairness. As well women would have far fewer single mother babies if they knew they couldn’t get unwilling child support extracted by employers and ultimately by gunpoint from unwilling men. 40% of American births are now to unwed mothers, up from the single digits in 1960, and 12% in 1972.

Split topic, from veggie to abortion and jumping off the building. I will start with the last one, and the story of my crazy neighbor as the ultimate greyzone of human suffering. And he gets help from no one.
My neighbor is about 30 years old, he never had any girlfriend, never had a job, he is skin and bone with translucent dermis from never going outside his house, he looks terrible, and through the ten years i have been living next to him, i have been absorbing his suffering, he has been a pain to me, and a threat to. He writes various letters about my dog or my trashcan being in the wrong place or the leafs in front of my door in the autumn, letters a 30 year old guy not suppose to write,, and they have a frightening undertone to it like, if you don’t do this, you will not deserve any human respect, or if your dog barks again, “anything” can happen “any” time…
First i get scared then i think twice, and understand its a disturbed man writing these things. Its a blueprint of his pain, not really my fault.
One year ago I went to my teacher that is a psychiatrist and showed the letters my neighbor wrote to evaluate him asking what is there to do?, and the psychiatrist told, there is very little I can do unless he wants to,, he suggested me to move, cause the psychiatrist told this guy was unstable and a threat, but also told there was nothing I could do,, so no help there,, its such a pain for me to see a guy rotten away in his best years, and being a danger for his surrounding, This guy is the next one jumping off bridge, really. What else is there? The main point is, there is little do to before a tragedy or wasting your life, which is terrible. Life is getting more and more inhumane as there is, or maybe it was always like this.

Its preferable to infanticide because it directly prevents it, preserves the corporal integrity of the woman with far less resource investment (and risk) and doesn’t involve killing a person.
If, as your statement implies, you believe in a varied and contingent gradation of entitlement to human rights based on freedom of an individual, you’d have to concede that a fetus is by definition entirely dependent and not in fact free from the agency of the mother, who’s own biological well-being is impacted by it.
Also, do you realize how many otherwise-suitable women are rendered utterly hopeless for LTRs (not to mention undatable) by virtue of their single motherhood? You might if you dated.

however, men can learn game; restricting abortions would disincentivize the pursuit of game, with lower utility to be gained.

Doug1,
Yup-yup. The problem on the Male side is very simple: so many have been brainwashed for so long insofar as White Knighting is concerned, that they’re cool with a completely outmoded way of doing business on the Male side, but have no problem with Women having it both ways on the Female side. Again: the issue is simple. Either you’re for Reproductive Rights accross the board, or you’re not. If Women reserve the right to decide when and if they become a parent, divorced from sexual activity, then that same right has to be applied to Men as well; otherwise, in essence, your advocating a “seperate, but unequal” kind of deal here. All the “but what about the children” arguments are a red herring because that has already been addressed with the original Roe decision. Same deal wrt “keep it zipped up!” argument-the whole of the Roe decision said that a Woman had a “right to privacy”-so, they have that right, but not Men?
As for an increase in welfare, etc, if we “let Men off the hook”-well, don’t Women make as much if not more than Men in America’s major cities when controlling for education, etc? In fact, we now know that Women are gaining college degrees more than Men. Also: Women already have a full menu of choices available to them, NONE OF WHICH INVOLVE MEN. So, again-if Women have a right to a sex life without consequence, why can’t Men?
Personally, I think it has deep evolutionary reasons for this, for both Men and Women. For the most part, Women DO NOT WANT MEN ENMASSE to be able to have the tools and methods available to be able to gain sexual access, pretty much at will to Women. Why? Because Women have been wired to SCREEN MOST MEN OUT. Fixing it so that most Men can get what they want sexually seriously messes with the radar so to speak. Roe For Men would do that, as would Game, hence all the fervor against both, not just from Women, but from a goodly number of Men, too.
Which brings us to the Menz-quite a few guys aren’t crazy about Game or RFM either, and again, EP explains why. First off, competition for the choice females has always been fierce, and just about anything has been fair game to knock each other out the box in that regard. Simply put, passing RFM removes the punitive measures toward more Men from getting the maximum amount of sex from Women-and thereby, be a potential threat to other Men. Unlike Women, who’s “place” in the social hierarchy is pretty much fixed, a Man’s position can move up or down, and is often subject to forces beyond his control. Keep potential competitors at bay is an important, crucial element in all of that.
The Male “backlash” against Game can be seen here as well. Think about it-the very act of Men doing things to give them more advantages in the dating market creates a visceral reaction in a goodly number of Men and quite a few Women. When one understands EP, one understands why that is.
Game and RFM gives more Men maximum options, something neither lots of Women, and a goodly number of Men, wants to see.
And that’s why Game and Roe For Men, is so vociferously fought against.

I’m interested in what makes you think that it is an objective, observable, scientifically demonstrable fact that personhood begins at conception. It is an objective fact that a life form is created at conception. But the property of “personhood”–which entitles an entity to a certain inalienable rights– is a purely metaphysical construct. Scientific facts can inform the criteria of this property, but it is ultimately a matter of human decision, based on philosophical reflection, whether or not to assign the property to any given entity. Science can’t tell us something like “If this cell cluster has 1, 2, and 3, it is a person,” like it can tell us “if this cell cluster has and X and Y sex chromosome, it is a male.” Since the criteria for personhood is solely the domain of philosophical debate, there are a variety of very plausible views as to what constitutes it. Some of these plausible views entail that aborting a fetus is in no way morally equivalent to murdering a functioning adult human.
So, it’s fine that you believe that a fetus is morally equivalent to a person, that is one plausible view to take. How you could think that your view is something scientifically confirmed, or objectively true, however, is beyond me.

I’m pro-abortion because I think it’s a necessary evil. But here’s my question for the pro-choicers who don’t even consider it a moral conundrum (“uh yea of course I’m pro-choice. what sane person isn’t it?”):
Do these people only celebrate a pregnancy at three or six months? So they get pregnant, but of course, it’s not a “life” until the second or third trimester according to their abortion argument, it’s only a potential life. Thus, if they celebrate being informed they’re pregnant (basically celebrating the potential for life in their argument), they should also celebrate simply having sex with the same joy because it too represents a potential for life. And if the baby dies prior to three months, are they not sad? I mean, it’s not a life so why care that it’s no longer there?
Of course pro-choicers celebrate when they’re informed they’re pregnant which implies they don’t believe their bullshit about when life begins.

The left has long done this. Hitler defined Jews as non-humans. Stalin defined “enemies of the state” and “rootless cosmoplitans” as not part of the collective revolutionaries—therefore not human and worthy of the gulag/death. Now Feminazis and Singer-animal-fuckers are tryign to define *personhood* away so that anyone below the age of 2, or anyone who dares to deny feminism or animalism somehow is inhumane.
BY agreeing to the logically inconsistent personhood/conception dichotomy, you sign your own death warrant.
Winston CHurchill said of the captured Nazis that it would have been more honest to merely line them up and shoot them rather than run through the fake trials at Nuremberg. But the US left and Stalin wanted to “prove” they were morally superior based on made up law.
Churchill was forthright: there was no law against what they did, but what they did was an abomination. By the hypocrisy of the show trial, we put ourselves on both hitler and stalin’s plain.

I’d add to Obsidian’s arguments, most of which are similar on the Roe for men issue to my own, that it’s good in the same breath to advocate for men having the same right as women to give their newborn up for adoption as well. Why don’t they? How is it fair that they don’t.
The fact is in many states a woman who’s given birth but doesn’t want to be a mother can drop her infant off at a firestation, no questions asked. In all states women have the option available to them to give their newborns up for adoption.
In both cases, the choice of abortion and the choice of giving the child up for adoption, the woman can chose after coitus and conception to have no responsibilities as a mother thereafter.
Why aren’t men given the same choice? How can it possibly be fair that they aren’t?
Men should be able upon timely notice of a woman’s pregnancy presumably by them to notify that mother back in turn that they wish to abort all of their responsibilities, but therefore also rights (of visitation, etc.) if the woman takes the pregnancy to term. She can then make an informed decision about whether to do so, or chose to give it up for adoption right after birth.
The one part of your argument above Obsidian that I do significantly disagree with is this:
For the most part, Women DO NOT WANT MEN ENMASSE to be able to have the tools and methods available to be able to gain sexual access, pretty much at will to Women. Why? Because Women have been wired to SCREEN MOST MEN OUT. Fixing it so that most Men can get what they want sexually seriously messes with the radar so to speak. Roe For Men would do that, as would Game, hence all the fervor against both
That is why many women (as well as some men) oppose game. They use words like “trick” and “fake” as their reasons for disapproval. That goes right to what you’re talking about.
No the reason women don’t support Roe for men is pure and simply money. They WANT the option to be able to put a man into involuntary servitude for 18 plus years if the have an “oops” or decide they want an “oops” and want to go it alone without marriage at least for now, or are opposed to abortion. (But remember there’s the give up for adoption option.) Women want more options. If it’s at the man’s unfair expense, so what? Hey, he should have kept it zipped. (And never mind that he should have kept his legs close.)
Many women girl think about this as being “unable to bear” either aborting or giving for adoption their baby, so of course the beastly and irresponsible man should step up.

Women on the way to evolving into homo sapiens became sexually receptive almost all month long instead of during a brief in heat estrus period in order to strengthen the human pair bond, to facilitate fatherhood and the raising of children, most scientists believe. I.e. it’s fundamental to being human that there’s a trade of female regular sexing of her mate in return for and to keep attracting male interest in his offspring. Which few to no other male mammals show. This is the bedrock of the institution of marriage, which the vast majority of the world’s peoples have since before recorded history socially embraced.
Forcing a man to support at very high after tax levels (which include an alimony component) a child that he didn’t want, without getting the wifely services expected traditionally in marriage (regular sex at least while she’s young being fundamental) in return, is deeply oppressive.

On Men’s reproductive rights:
Men have no reproductive rights. If you get a woman pregnant, she can do whatever she likes with that pregnancy. The man can be forced into fatherhood against his will or a child he wants, can be aborted. A man has no say in the outcome either way.
Women will indeed tell you that men indeed have reproductive rights. The man can abstain from sex or wear a condom. However, abstaining is not a reproductive right, it is what everyone, man and woman, is doing when they are not having sex. Wearing a condom is not a reproductive right; it is merely a contraceptive, a preventative measure against pregnancy….just like the pill.
Reproductive rights only come into play when there is an actual pregnancy. In the States, Roe vs. Wade established it was a woman’s right to choose. Now, what legal precedent established that a condom protected a man from having fatherhood imposed on him against his will? If there were a law, men would be protected from the legal consequences of pregnancy, then wearing a condom would be a reproductive right. But there is no such law, so condom or not, if a woman falls pregnant you will be forced to pay child support if she has the baby. In other words, men have no reproductive rights.

Doug1, Dreamer,
I think my explanation of why both Game and Roe For Men creates such a visceral reaction in both Women AND Men, makes a heck of a lot of sense once one takes Evo-Psych into account. And, I plan 2 blog about this tomorrow at my place: theobsidianfiles.wordpress.com. Until then though, a quick recap:
1. Game and RFM creates strong reactions in sizable segments of both the Male and Female communities because it threatens the age-old and evolutionarily informed “way of things”; it confuses the “Alpha Male Radar” of Females, and introduces more sexual competitors for the Males-particularly those deemed by Women to be Alpha Males.
2. Women in particular, do not like for Men to have expanded sexual options. This is another reason why many of them dislike Game and RFM. Being able to determine when, if, and how sex and procreation takes places confers a tremendous amount of power on the Female; Game and RFM threatens both of these.
3. Another reason why Women in particular dislike Game is because they see a mirror image to the very many kinds of “games” they play. For example, the very act of using makeup or bras are “games” designed to enhance their appearance-yet they see no problem in doing this, and in fairness, one is hardpressed to find a Man who will complain either. Some Women say they don’t like the word “Game” because it connotes using deception or trickery of some kind-but the truth is, that Women can and often are just as conniving and calculating, and not only will they do it, but they will either condone it being done by other Women, or fully and tacitly endorse it when other Women do it, too. The issue isn’t the word, it’s the very means for more Men to have and then exercise more sexual options in the dating and mating marketplace. If Women are the “sellers” of said marketplace, why would they be cool with more “consumers” (ie Men) being *educated* consumers?
Again: use Occam’s Razor, not a butterknife.

Roe for Men would do nothing to diminish a woman’s right or ability to be sexually choosy. Rape does, which is why feminists focus so much on it, and on radically expanding the definition of it. They even want to make men criminally liable for rape if the girl’s been drinking but is still walking and talking, and consents to sex when tipsy, but has buyer’s remorse the next morning.
What Roe for Men does do is diminish her right to get her baby and herself supported by a man who doesn’t want it. Evo Psych and your line of reasoning would suggest that would mostly be alphas’ babies women would want to keep. So what women are wanting is to force alphas into paying for babies the alphas didn’t want, and that’s why women so oppose Roe for Men. They want that backstop and that option. Options for women and total fairness for women, not balanced at all by similar fairness for men. That’s what so many American women want.
Really whether women keep babies and don’t abort has to do mostly with 1) how opposed they are to abortion; 2) how good they think their prospects are for eventual marriage while they can still have children to a man they really want to be married to (her age factors into this heavily, as well as her looks and SES); and 3) how much child support he’s good for relative to her other prospects.

How would you determine whether a man intended to be a father or not upon each sexual encounter, other than his own testimony?
The idea is to give him the same post coital rights she has to terminate parental obligations. It’s not a pre pregnancy determination but a post pregnancy one, like she has.
I think the practical default should be that he doesn’t want to be a father, if he hasn’t married her and hasn’t said he does post pregnancy (without changing his mind) in a manner that she can prove. A letter from him would prove it. Her sending him a form to check and his returning it with yes or no would prove it.
But if you want the default to run the other way, then she should have the duty to inform him of his paternity to the fetus by registered mail. He should have three weeks after signing for the registered mail to make his decision and return it to her, by registered mail. If she doesn’t send such a letter, he can opt out at any time. If she does and he signs the mail received registered mail slip, then unless he timely responds no to her, he’s on the hook for child support.
I think there’s a good deal of play for gotcha in the later and that the default assumption that he opts out of single fatherhood unless he in writing says he’s oped in is much fairer – to both. She can tell him that unless he opts in she aborting or giving up for adoption.

Of course, Cleo went on to have an abortion later in life.
She was surprisingly a little more self-aware about her beliefs. She would explain why really cruelty to animals was unforgiveable to her: she hated human beings and loved animals instead.

A mistake made in the abortion debate is that what’s significant is the logic of it. Logic matters not, practically speaking. It is the woman who is pregnant: it can become a life to her the moment she finds out about it. The science, the spirituality, nothing matters. The determinant is her perspective and how she feels about being pregnant. What kind of woman doesn’t automatically picture this life and want to nurture it? What was her experience with the father of this cell mass and how will she redefine it? For the conceptus to be meaningless, so must the father.
How unnatural is she, as a female?
What chaos is she wrecking against her own instincts?
How unnatural will she become, once the path for her to become a person who disregards her nurturing instinct in favour of convenience and rationalisation?
How messed up are her relationships?
Where did she go wrong: in wanting to abort, or being in a situation where a pregnancy was unwanted?

Doug1, you write about a man’s right to terminate his legal rights and responsibilities towards the child if he doesn’t want it. I don’t think you’ve thought this through as a practical matter. It isn’t in the child’s interest, it isn’t in the mother’s interest, and it isn’t in society’s interest, the latter because society needs to be able to hold men responsible for the support of their offspring or take on the burden as a charge to the public purse. I do wish that more single women would give up their children for adoption, rather than choosing abortion or raising them as single mothers, which would effectively free men from financial responsibility for them. Perhaps that’s what you should be fighting for, instead of your impractical wish for men to be able to “sign away” paternal responsibilities unilaterally. Even in the Good Old Days before the women’s movement, men did not have this right, not ever. Of course, paternity was harder to prove then, but if there was half a chance that a particular man was the father of a particular bastard child, he was always responsible for supporting it.
This may be one of those issues in which men just have to accept that life, and sex in particular, is not fair. Women have to do that too, often enough. Like accepting, for instance, that our youth and appearance count for more to men than our personalities and achievements. Or accepting that we can’t really have the same kind of sexual freedom as men, no matter how hard we try to pretend otherwise. Nothing to be done about either.

W/all due respect, your reasoning wrt Roe For Men is seriously flawed. As I noted before, all of the notions of “Male responsibility” are outmoded, antiquated “social constructs” of Old British Common Law, something that’s easily hundreds of years old-and Women know it. This is another case of Women having it both ways. The issue is very simple-youre either for Equality, or you’re not. Period. If a Woman has a right to choose, then Men do, too-and here’s the thing:
Just as Women who couldn’t get medically safe abortions resorted to the back alleys, Men who don’t want to be dads will resort to all sorts of measures to keep from paying for kids THEY DON’T WANT. Until Men have the same right to “abort” this issue will never, ever, go away.
Women now earn their own money; many Women CHOOSE to be singlemoms, often going to fertility clinics or adopting. There is no issue here, only an intense desire by both Women and a goodly number of Men, to impose restrictions on the right of Men to fuck, there, I’ve said it. They don’t want Men who can, to Bun & Run, but the horse’s out the barn, now, which happened way back in the early 70s w/Roe. We said that Women have the right to screw without consequence-did we honstly think that would continue forever, that only one half of the country could decide but the other can’t? Come on. Roe For Men truly equalizes things, balances the scales, for everybody. Women get what they want, and Men get what they want.
Full and complete Reproductive Rights-either you’re for it, or you’re not.

Well, Obsidian, since I don’t believe in “a woman’s right to choose”, your argument doesn’t really apply to me. It’s the babies I’m more concerned about in these situations, not their mothers or their fathers.
American law, as I understand it, is based on a mixture of English common law and “natural rights” theory as expounded in your Constitution and Bill of Rights. The first “natural right” is the right to life; get too far away from that, and many distortions and outright evils will follow, in the law and in society.
In any case, to speak of “equal rights” in sexual matters, when the biological and sexual destinies of men and women are so different, and when a third party (a child or potential child, however you choose to see it) is involved, is disingenuous at best. I can’t think of a good analogy at the moment, but it’s a bit like saying that the rich and the poor ought to pay equal taxes – equal in absolute value, not as a percentage of income, since they have or ought to have an equal obligation as citizens to support the state and the services it provides. Or – perhaps a better comparison – it’s like saying it’s unfair for men and women to have separate divisions in sporting events like races, because if the sexes are equal they ought to compete as persons rather than based on their gender.

Vegans are only vegans for two reasons: Their society cannot produce enough meat for large-scale consumption, or their society produces so much food, they they do not have to eat meat.
Let a vegan who thinks it is “cruelty to animals” go without food long enough, and I guarantee you they will kill an animal without a pang of guilt.
Case in point: Ted Nugent used to have a “survivor” type show a few years back. There was this girl who was a self-proclaimed vegan on there. After 3 or 4 days of going without food, Ted brought them live chickens. If they wanted to eat, they had to kill the chickens. This “vegan” girl (who was 3 days into hunger mode) picked up this live chicken, and bashed it’s skull against a rock to kill it. She then cleaned it, cooked it, and ate it. Later on, she went on a deer hunt with Ted, and killed a deer to feed the group.
When the belly starts rumbling, cave-man (and cave woman) instincts kick in. Animal “cruelty” comes second place to “I’m fucking starving, and if I don’t kill that animal and eat it, I die.”

The problem is that Roissy doesn´t abide by any moral code. He is a nihilist. Saying that he is evil, means that he acknowledges some kind of superior moral code exists. This is bull in his case. There is no good or evil in Roissy´s world. In Roissy´s world, choices are dictated by power or feeling, since these are the only concrete directives in the lack of a divine moral code. Utilitarianism, the other possible directive, is in fact a mix of the former two.
The girl guides her behavior by her feelings. She could have just said that she loved snails. It doesn´t matter. She is coherent with Roissy´s world, but Roissy is not.
The case of abortion today is similar to the case of slavery. Most people with power supported slavery in the XIX century. Most people with power support murdering babies today. In any place where a superior moral code served as a guide, abortion doctors would have their brains sucked out in a public square. Through the anus.

I only read part of the responses here, but did modern science die off lately? Normally reasonable people like PA seem all into the “Life begins at conception” view, discounting the fact that until 4 weeks, an embryo looks or acts no more human than a chicken wing. It’s a belief that has no more basis in observable facts than saying a gob of your outer skin cells warrants some special treatment because it’s part human. It’s a small unrecognizable blob of dividing cells, and “belief” that it should somehow be treated as a human just doesn’t change the fact that it’s not.
Embryos and fetuses develop in the order of evolution, so the spine comes first, and then the finer brain functions last and so on. The main part of the brain (cerebrum) develops at 12 weeks, so that’s one decent way of defining human life. Another is at the time of viability (when the child can live outside the womb), which starts at 21 weeks, after 27 weeks almost every fetus is viable. At least it makes some kind of sense to say a fetus should be treated like a human when it starts to resemble at least some kind of developing small creature, even though it might not look different than a developing crocodile or hamster. But then you could say it doesn’t make sense to call something with the brain capacity of a smart insect human. Personally I believe the limit should be around 8-12 weeks, and anything after 18 weeks should be treated as murder. But if you believe life starts before the embryo attaches to the womb (most don’t), then you can go sing along with the catholics in The meaning of life.
The funny thing is many of the persons usually concerned about welfare and government expenditure don’t know the practical effect of allowing abortions is that the number of babies born from dumb mothers and dumb, irresponsible, violent fathers decreases markedly. Abortions do happen in every class, but in practice it usually happens much more often to those who are too stupid to reliably take birth control pills. These women instead end up having a string of stupid, violent and/or over breeding kids, instead of having a string of abortions. Of course the literature doesn’t actually say so right out, but it’s pretty clear to anyone who can read and think for themselves. In fact it’s probably the closest thing you have to eugenics in practice today, because it really does remove a lot of low IQ genes from the gene pool.

I think it’s safe to say that abortion is something very, very few people have seen first-hand. Male or female. The gory reality of natural miscarriage or the birth of a fetus too early to save, is something many more have.
There are few big differences between them IMO – it’s either the uterus contracting to expel a fetus (often alive and in distress) or strong suction/direct slicing which kills it in short order. A medical abortion results in a fetus suffering for a much shorter time. Suction or curettage techniques are not used for late-term abortions – the baby is delivered whole, but usually killed beforehand with an injection.
It makes me LOL that so many men here are all fucked-up in the head about 1st trimester jellybeans or amphibian-looking 2nd trimester fetuses being forcibly expelled from their mother’s wombs. It’s so not a big deal to me, even though it is technically the deliberate destruction of a human life and hence ‘murder’. There are different situations in which murder is acceptable in our country (war, self-defense of property, your person, or defense of someone else) many different charges which can be applied to individual murders(1st and 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, police action) they are somewhat different in other cultures (honor killings and crimes of passion have lesser or no consequences in plenty of places, for example).. so abortion is murder. Big deal. Nothing can stop women from getting abortions. It might was well be safe and legal.
BTW, according to the best data “88.2% of abortions are conducted at or prior to 12 weeks, 10.4% from 13 to 20 weeks, and 1.4% at or after 21 weeks.” I find that 1.4% most disturbing to think about, personally, but it’s a pretty small amount of infants overall, and most of the time it’s not because the mother doesn’t want a baby. I know one woman who had a late-term abortion, and it was of an anencephalic baby which had developed with no upper skull or brain at all (sometimes they have a partial brain stem, but usually not), is incapable of feeling pain, and will live for a few hours at most with assistance if it survives birth at term.

It isn’t in the child’s interest, it isn’t in the mother’s interest, and it isn’t in society’s interest, the latter because society needs to be able to hold men responsible for the support of their offspring or take on the burden as a charge to the public purse.
Perhaps you missed where in a follow up post I said that I would agree that if the woman does decide to keep the baby that if and for so long as the woman qualifies for welfare, the man can be required to pay child support so long as she does in equal amounts.
No it’s not in the woman’s interest to not be able to hold the unwilling father in indentured servitude for a child he didn’t want, when she had the ready means to not have it either, or to give it up for adoption. It wasn’t in slaveholders interest to have their slaves forcibly freed either.
Keep in mind clio that the rate of single motherhood has exploded since feminism. The percentage of out of wedlock births was in single digits in 1960 and before and at 12% in 1972. It’s at 40% today. I have come to believe that a large majority of unwed births are actually intentional. It’s just in the girl’s interest to say otherwise, in getting sympathy etc. Lots of opps pregnancies. Lots of subconsciously intentional ones as well. If the consequences were greater the incidence would be much lower as it used to be.
That was by no means always true, if it was know that the girl slept around for example. Or if she were of a much lower class. As well the remedy in the first instance was generally that if she wanted support she had to be willing to marry the man. Which meant he had a right and she had a duty to go on providing him regular sex, without ready divorce and support available either. When child support was paid it was generally agreed at far lower levels than anything like the 30% after tax extractions today. Which are crippling, and when the man makes good money, a boon for women wishing to not be bothered by a husband in having a child.
The unfairnesses you give as examples are only arguably that. Youthful and pretty girls would regard men’s desire for such things as an advantage, not an unfairness. As for sexual freedom, in many ways or in fact most ways most women have more. They can have as much sex as they like, most of them and with reasonably attractive men. There are some consequences yes, but less than ever before at least at the hands of men, if they wish to go that way.
As well it’s a statutory unfairness that Roe for Men wishes to overturn.
Why clio shouldn’t a woman be forced to give her child up for adoption if the biodad wants that alternative? Or if she couldn’t afford to raise the child she wanted but he didn’t on her own? Why isn’t that much fairer than making him support a child for 18 years at levels that will often keep him from having one with a woman he wants to have a child with?

Requiring that unwilling biodads so handsomely pay for those third party bastards means that far more of them are being born in that condition. If child support at high after tax percentage rates couldn’t be extracted from men who didn’t want to have a baby out of marriage by women who do, there’d be far fewer babies born outside of marriage. As there used to be, in the days before high level child support was extracted.

The practical reality is today that in many cases in the upper half or third, most probably, ambitious women at least will either abort or give a child up for adoption when that pregnacy comes at a bad time for them.
But if it comes at a better time for them, or fits in better with their plans, then tough luck for the man, regardless of what kind of time it is for him.
Lots of these are oops pregancies, directly intentional or subconsciously so.
Women ought to have to convince a man to want to marry support her and her child, and offer him something ongoing in return, to get a man’s ongoing financial support. Now in 40% of births she doesn’t have to, because of sky high after tax percentage rates of child support for children the men didn’t want.
This is new and it’s deeply oppressive.

Doug, only your last point in this list is unquestionably true. A woman who slept around might still be able to obtain support for a child if it was clear that she had been exclusively involved with one man at the time of its conception, and in the close quarters of pre-modern towns and households, this usually was quite clear.
As far as being compelled to marry the father of her child – yes, if he and she were of equal social rank and especially if they were a long-standing couple and more or less betrothed. If not, she might well be married off, but not to the father of her child; more likely to some willing fall-guy who would certainly have to be bribed into accepting the woman + child, probably by a dowry from either the woman’s father or the baby’s father, or perhaps both. Unless an unwed mother was of the pauper class, and fatherless (not that rare 100 years ago, but not all that common either), it was relatively unusual for her to be left to face the consequences of her pregnancy with no help from anyone. What’s more, in some regions men faced serious consequences, like social ostracism or being beaten up by a woman’s male relatives, if they abandoned the women with whom they had conceived children.
Society’s main interest was not to protect men’s rights, or for that matter those of women or babies, but to avoid having a child become a charge on the public purse, as I’ve said here before. Even men of Byron’s or Tolstoy’s rank, to name two well-known seducers, were expected to support their bastard offspring, though of course some did so more generously than others.

There was far, far greater incidence of men not having to support their bastard offspring if they didn’t want to than your retelling suggests. Most of the time not I’d suggest.
When they did it was so as not to starve or be unsheltered and beyond that up to them generally.
Further until recently few women could support themselves at all decently or often at all, other than through prostitution. Now women can well support themselves, and a child, without a man’s help, in the large majority of cases. Not as well as with another income of course. But they aren’t offering anything in return for that income are they? No ongoing wifely services, which are a bedrock of human pair bonding and how men became attracted to sticking around to raise children.
The man by stipulation didn’t want the child. If he did, he would have been married most likely but in any event, he can certainly agree to parental rights and obligations under what I or any other Roe for Men advocate I’ve seen proposes.
The prospect of bearing a child out of wedlock for all but the most fortunately situated women in the most tolerant families and communities was truly a dismal one, which contributed mightily to it’s rarity.
Now under the feminist rules which you support in this area, bastardry is at 40%. It’s a right and fine option for many women.
Who are now enabled to place men in indentured servitude to cough up a HUGE percentage of their after tax earnings.
At a time when 50% more women than men graduate from American law schools and more 40% more women graduate college than men. At a time of equal or superior female earning ability, if they want to go that route instead of more yoking men.
Through unwed mother mandatory child support, even when the mother doesn’t qualify for welfare, where I’ve said the man should have to pay to that extent.
Deeply unfair and inequitable Clio. Gender discrimination. Women have post coital choices to terminate their parental obligations. Two of them. Abortion and adoption. Men have none. Gender discrimination by law.

Doug, English poor laws existed before the English Civil War (1642-1651) and continued to exist long after it – in fact, until modern times. Here’s a wikipedia blurb on the subject:
The English Poor Laws were a system of poor relief which existed in England and Wales that developed out of late medieval and Tudor laws before being codified in 1587–98. The Poor Law system was in existence until the emergence of the modern welfare state after the Second World War.
I’ve deleted the footnote numbers but they are there in the article.
I spoke of Britain because its laws and social assumptions were part of the common culture passed on to American laws and institutions, and that included its poor laws, at least until the creation of the Republic. (See link, here: http://www.ssa.gov/history/bortz.html)
Of course, American family law developed rather differently from the English model over the years – it tended to be rather more favourable to women and bastard children, until very recently when English law caught up and then surpassed it.

Pre sex:
1. The pill
2. Demand a condom+spermicide
3. Deprovera shot
4. IUD
5. Tubal Ligation
6. Diaphragm
7. Demand he get a vasectomy
8. Abstinence (say no IF PREGNANCY IS SO HARSH!)
9. Withdrawal
10. Calendar method
11. Use some or all
Post sex:
1. Morning after pill
2. Abortion (irrespective of whether he wants the child)
Consent to sexual intercourse is not consenting to fatherhood, except in law…and this is so the government doesn’t have to look after single moms who fail at practicing my list above.
How arrogant is it, from feminist corners, to call a man a “deadbeat dad”, when he never wanted to be a father in the first place? He just wanted to have sex, LIKE SHE DID….and a sperm met an ovum and boom…she has all the options and he has none..despite equally consenting to intercourse.
Both of them participated in the same act, but only the male is labelled a deadbeat, the woman, who cannot afford to maintain herself and child without other people’s money, is not a deadbeat, but instead the victim of a deadbeat.

Admittedly I didn’t read this post at all or most of the comments because the moment I saw abortion discussions mixed with the phrase “swine flu” I went blind with white-hot rage at human stupidity once again…..
BUT if you are calling abortion a “birth control option” for women then you obviously consider a vasectomy a “birth control option” for men because they are both costly, somewhat dangerous, and a “surgical procedure” (even though I’m pretty sure they no longer consider Vasectomies as “surgery”).
Any man/woman who says that “abortion” is an unfair birth control “option” for women cannot deny that one could just as easily say that any man who DOESN’T get a Vasectomy (just because it’s “available”) is deserving of getting slammed with Child Support from every single women he ever lets his sperm get near.
It’s the same thing and you people are stupid if you try to use “a woman’s right to choose to have a major and expensive surgical procedure” as an option that men DON’T have. Vasectomy is YOUR option, so shut up and go pay for those and see if you still think that’s an “easy available option”.
