Subject: Pros and Cons

Though you do cover the cons for unwed pregnancies, the issue of hormones in birth control products and abortion should a pregnancy be undesired are universal and apply to even married women. Birth control of all sorts has a failure rate. Even when married, not all couples want more children, or even any children.

Secondly, this article does not fully set out the fact that men may not pay child support immediately, but a woman that files for support will get a judgment and payments even if that man is 50 years old when he gets a job. The Federal government will tap his tax returns, levy his bank accounts, and sell his home out from under him if he doesn't pay. He will also have to pay late fees and penalties, as well as interest. So again, she may pay with sweat equity but he will pay with cold, hard cash. In reality they BOTH suffer the consequences of a pregnancy that neither wanted.

Women can have sex and stand toe to toe with men on every single level. What women should not do however is avoid using proper birth control to prevent pregnancy. Having sex does not have to mean you end up pregnant. The right to not have a baby, to get birth control, to get equal pay at jobs, to become doctors and judges and police officers and pilots were all won by the women's liberation fight. Having access to a woman's v***** is her decision, and there is no reason to associate access with some ancient male-oriented rating of value. Women can have sex without love if they please. The only point we do agree on here is that women should not EVER have babies with knuckleheads.
