I don't think every unplanned pregnancy was because "the man was
lied to" by the woman. I find it peculiar that you would explain away two
consenting adults with such a devious explanation. (I doubt that most
situations are due to such Jerry Springer antics)The two parties both
participated in the risk,(and everyone does know the risks, both man and
woman) There are many reasons that an unwanted pregnancy could result.
No, I don't believe it would be fair to force an abortion on a woman
(physical,
and emotional trauma) and I highly doubt that abortions will ever be forced
on anyone (excluding medical emergency, which still isn't forced). Legally,
that's just not going to take. Your other 'alternative/choice" is that if a
woman
refuses abortion, that she should then take care of the child, (who is
indeed
his as well) while he shouldn't have to contribute emotional or financial
responsibility.
Of course, I'm sure this is gonna piss off at least a few of the women on

Funny you should say that (about to puke) your reasonable (in pure
jest) 'resolution' of such a situation is shockingly selfish, not only in
leaving all consequences on the female of the -two- who took the risk,
but for the child as well. It's as if your scenario implies she had sex with
herself. (I smell cop out)
