men want 'say' in unplanned pregnancyactivists seek right to decline financial responsibility for kids.

new york (ap) -- contending that women have more options than they do in the event of an unintended pregnancy, men's rights activists are mounting a long shot legal campaign aimed at giving them the chance to opt out of financial responsibility for raising a child.. the national center for men has prepared a lawsuit -- nicknamed roe v. wade for men -- to be filed thursday in u.s. district court in michigan on behalf of a 25-year-old computer programmer ordered to pay child support for his ex-girlfriend's daughter.. the suit addresses the issue of male reproductive rights, contending that lack of such rights violates the u.s. constitution's equal protection clause.. the gist of the argument: if a pregnant woman can choose among abortion, adoption or raising a child, a man involved in an unintended pregnancy should have the choice of declining the financial responsibilities of fatherhood.

Should a woman have the right to abort her baby?

NO, I strongly disagree with abortion. The only time I would consider it as an option would be if rape had occured. In that case the woman did NOT choose to have sex it was forced upon her and she should not be forced to keep the baby.

But aborting a baby because you made a mistake is irresponsible. I would NEVER do it. (I have been there, I have faced that decision...)

I'm rather tired of being told men are scum

I don't think ALL men are scum, Some of them are, but then again there are some pretty scummy women too.

Women have to pay the 'consequences'

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet is that fact that once a woman is preg, there are SERIOUS consequences even if she chooses not to keep it. An abortion for most people is an emotinally scarring experience, many women go into deep depression over it and NEVER heal from that hurt.

I think both men AND women should start owning up to their mistakes and taking care of their responsibilities instead of pointing fingers and struggling for power to choose "what to do now"!

OMG! This is the most RIDICULOUS thing I have EVER heard!

Sorry, but actions have consequences!

You don't want the financial responsiblity of having a child.... MASTERBATE!

I am so sick of hearing men "spreading their seed" and then b$ching about the outcome! Did you not attend Sex-ed class?

AHHH! Sperm and egg make baby. You don't want baby... DONT put the sperm and egg together!

it seems as though many people come to this board and leave in a short space of time.. it's a pity.. there are people on this board who are very nice and polite even when discussing various views.

this leads to understanding and concern.

If homosexuals were treated as the Bible recommends.........

by Gill in

a few years ago, infact quite a few years ago, i was working in fs with a particularly arrogant jw, name of mr spong.. there had been a case of a young boy of about 9 years old who had been sexually assaulted and murdered by a pedophile/homosexual man and this was in all the national press.

bro.

spong's presentation was on the bible and if it was relevant in todays world.

Krystal

This is a common misconception within the org... I have heard similar stupid comments.

Homosexuality does not mean pedophile/murderer!!

You don't see them saying all straight men who have sex before marriage should be stoned incase they decide to assault a little girl!

Ignorance.

How have you coped since leaving?

by SickofLies in

i noticed that many different people have coped in many different ways, i believe this reflects the fact we all have left or been kick out for different reasons.

what have you done since leaving?

have you joined another church, are you athesitc?

Krystal

How can you cope?? If someone knows the answer please by all means let us know!

I don't think there is anything that can prepare you for what leaving an organization like the WTBS is going to be like. To be totally honest, I don't think there is anything you can really do to ease that pain.

I just take one day at a time. I am so lucky to have my darling hubby who not only was/is my shoulder to cry on but he also helped me to branch out and make new friends amongst some of his own friends.

All the new friends in the world will not replace the friends and family I have lost. You just have to come to terms with that. Life isn't fair. Jehovah's Witnesses are not fair.

I think the one thing that keeps me from going off the deep end is the thought that it could be worse! I mean really, in the grand scheme of things, I have a roof over my head, food in my stomach and air in my lungs. I can't ask for more than that.

My neighbours two year old will absolutely NOT let me do laundry if she doesn't get to help... she is so adorable, she is always trying to be of assistance.

Sometimes when I am making dinner, I will put on her fav "Baby Einstein" Movie to entertain her untill supper is done, almost everytime when she figures out I am cooking, she wants to help instead.

What a cutie!
