Man, I always had issues with that. Because on the one hand, why the fuck should I give birth if I don't want to?! My body, my choice, right? Being forced to go through with a pregnancy takes away my freedom and that is not acceptable.
On the other hand...I met a couple of the fathers. Most don't care or if they do care they tend to agree with the abortion but there's a few who want the child so badly. I hate that I can see their point of view but I can. Their argument is that it's only nine months out of the mother's life and then she never has to see the baby again but they want it.
So yeah...I don't think there should be a law which pretty much forces a woman to continue an unwanted pregnancy but I do feel sorry for the few men out there who are as hurt by the termination as a woman would be by being pressured into having the child.
