What special law or privilege should a man get to balance the law of abortion for women?

Question

In todays age when laws are are being framed where the criteria for employemrnt would be based on gender and race what one specific law or privilege is extremely essential to balance the special privileges and rights given to women?

Answer 1

If she decides to have the kid we should be the one who pays for it, whilst having little or no visiting or parenting rights! That seems fair to me!

Answer 2

They already have a biological fact making things favorable for them.  They don't have to get pregnant and they don't have to endure months of morning sickness nausea and they don't have to see their body deformed and permanently changed, and they don't have to risk death to bring a baby into this world.  So you see, the facts are already stacked in men's favor.

ABORTION IS NOT A SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.

Answer 3

Wear a condom, get a vasectomy.

Answer 4

I don't want a privilege to counter balance murder!

Abortion is supposed to be only for extreme cases only, such as medical reasons or if the women is suffering severe depression, but now days it is treated as some form of birth control. I do agree though that it is wrong that men have no legal recourse to stop the murder of their unborn child.

Answer 5

If the government wants to socially experiment with the family, then they can pay for the break up of said family.

Answer 6

Curious concept...uh - you get to have s*x and NOT get pregnant.  There - we're even????

Answer 7

How about... We get to abort the child if we find out the woman poked holes in the condoms?

Sounds fair to me.

Or... Have a contract before you have s*x with someone so you don't get into this situation.

Answer 8

Can't quite follow what you're saying but as for abortion there would be hardly any if people took the responsibility to use birth control, which I might add  is out their for her and him. It's a start. As for special privileges for women...calm down there pal as we haven't even had the right to vote that long. One day we might even get equal pay for the same work, what a concept.

Answer 9

To ask feminists this is to invite them to save the unborn based on gender. If we considered unborn children as individuals then laws such as VAWA which applies only to females.

Instead, we have to look at equal opportunity v equal outcome. Certainly the natural father needs to have an input into the abortion process.

There would then come into play the various rights of the three individuals involved and a balancing act would have to come into play.

There are four situations arising

1.Mother wants child - Father doesn't (Very contentious)

2.Mothers wants abortion - Father objects (contentious)

3.Mother and father wants abortion (less contentious)

4.Mother and father both want child(no contention)

Situation 1. This would be the most difficult and would only succeed legally in very rare cases such as a handicapped baby or the mother inseminated herself without the father's consent.

Situation 2. This would be the scenario that should lend itself to some sort of a legal process. Here the rights of the mother to have control over her body must be weighed against the rights of the unborn to life with the rights of the father to his child. Each case has to be examined on its merits. Taking into account factors such as rape, age, point of pregnancy, ability of father to care for child, the degree of opposition of mother to pregnancy, etc

Situation 3. This should be decided by the pro v anti lobbies and the laws as they stand or develop

Situation 4. Happy families!

Answer 10

if the woman doesnt want to keep it he should have right to adopt....check out one life to live which is dealing with this issue....2pm weekdays on ABC

Answer 11

Aw boo hoo, we've got more toys to play with than you!

EDIT: I gve an answer as grown up as the question asked. ABortion is about the persons body, it isn't a gender issue. But people like you think 'it's not fair'

Answer 12

Patios is misleading the readers at best. All her reports can be challenged.

Let me randomly pick the first one

"Two Thirds of All Married Women in India Victims of Domestic Violence and Marital Rape"

A study by "National Family Health Survey" is conducted in India by Govt. It is by far the most comprehensive and largest study which covers more than 100 thousand women. I have rarely heard of studies which have been as comprehensive as this.

The study covers women from every start of population (education/religion/race/language e.t.c).  http://www.nfhsindia.org/nfhs3_national_...

1) Contrary to what "Patios" wants to make us believe the data collected tells us that only 37%(Patios falsely claims 66% and more) women have faced domestic violence at least once in their lives.

2) The data collected does not indicate as to who was the initiator of domestic violence. The interpretation by feminists assumes that husband is perpetrator. Thus even this 37% is not a genuine figure.

3) The figure of 37% has been achieved taking into account violence suffered once in life by females in age group (15-49). Thus annual rate of violence is much below i.e on an average it is about 37 / (49 -15) ~ 2% only. All crime everywhere in world is reported in annual basis but since feminists did not see that they could generate a emotional usurps, awe and feeling of terror in masses they summed up their results for last 30 years to bloat the statistics. if feminists are to be believed then even if Dv is 2% then after 50 years all 100% women would have been violated.

4)  The report by NFHS clearly stated that in most cases men were asked about DV, men replied that the women choose to initiate DV first. This however was systematically suppressed by feminists.

5) The statistics that 2/3 women suffered DV in India is another very big hoax which is being propagated by the liked of "Patios". When a men's organization approached Washington times for first publishing these stats, WT told that they had been informed by UNIFEM. When these organizations then approached UNIFEM to find out the basis of this study, UNIFEM told them that they had gotten these results from National commission of Women in India. When men finally went to National commission of Women in India, they were told that they had recieved this information from UNIFEM.

Thus All in all this was a big joke being played by feminists who are thriving on tax payers' money to spread radical myths and half truths.

Edit: Here is the link to apology issued by WT

http://washingtontimes.com/news/2006/nov...

However I do not expect feminists on GWS to ever apologise for lying on public forum. To expect feminists not to lie is to expect fishes to nest in trees.

Edit: The rate of annual incidences of Domestic Violence in India is around 10%(NFHS - I study). This also includes violence where women were the Initiator of abuse.

Answer 13

A baby is not actually 100% "equally" a man and a woman's.   Like it or not, the man merely deposits a seed. It is the woman who carries it inside of her body and it feeds off of the foods she consumes

Answer 14

I'm not sure what the answer is with the abortion issue.

I will agree it's not fair to men, particularly in the case that he wants the child she doesn't.

but to force her to carry the child seems like slavery, and we have no transplant system invent yet.

in the case she wants the child, he doesn't.  Father's are fighting for so many rights already, to have a opt out choice, would decease what they are fighting for.

there is the male BC coming out, I do think think this will lesson the chances of accident pregnancies all together....and it give men another option besides  no s*x and condoms.

Answer 15

The best solution is just to outlaw abortion so women stop using it as a means of birth control

Answer 16

Well, with the phenomenon of of eve's teasing and the beating-wives-to-a-pulp domestic violence epidemic in India, I'd say men there pretty much have their "special privileges" extremely essentially framed for employment criteria law of brutal-dom balanced. lol

The More That A Woman In India Rises And Becomes Educated The More Likely She Is To Be Beaten By Her Husband:

http://www.womensenews.org/article.cfm/d...

In India, every six hours, a young married woman is burned, beaten to death or driven to commit suicide, officials say.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/60...

In India, problems range from the husband not giving enough money to run the home, alcoholism, having a mistress, not coming home, not taking her out, beating her black and blue, locking her up at home, to, demand for dowry, harassment by in laws, taking away her salary, her children, pouring hot coffee or boiling water on her, pouring acid or setting her on fire, and more.

In India, it is estimated that more than 15,000 women suffer from dowry-related violence ever year. http://www.wethewomen.org/entry/india-do...

In a new, large-scale study exploring the link between domestic violence and chronic malnutrition, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have found that Indian mothers and children experiencing multiple incidents of domestic violence in the previous year are more likely to be anemic and underweight.

Answer 17

Your question is confused and incoherent.  

Very poorly constructed.  Meaningless.

*I have a belief in coherent English.

* "Wordpress" isn't a source, DUH!  

And nor is this http://dowry-law-misuse.tripod.com/ thing.  It has its own agenda and that is to whine.  Its is not an official government of India website - whereas the site I posted to another on one of your questions WAS a government website.  My sources always credible, yours are NOT.

I  mentioned to you earlier that the credibility of the source is paramount - and this one is a total loser.  Anyone can upload c**p onto their database!

Human Rights Watch, by constrast IS a highly esteemed source; and this is what they have to say on the subect:

"The Hindu nationalist policies espoused by India's governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its affiliate organizations undermined the country's historical commitment to secular democracy. Violence against Christian, Muslim, and Dalit, or "untouchable," populations was one result. Areas of separatist violence such as Kashmir and northeast India were marked by grave human rights abuses on the part of Indian security forces and armed rebel groups. Violence against women continued, from infanticide to dowry-related deaths to attacks on women whose male relatives were sought by the police. A major campaign on Dalit rights gathered strength, but some human rights defenders were targets of a state-sponsored backlash against their activism.

In a positive move, the law commission also called for sweeping changes to the country's rape laws following an increase in the incidence of sexual violence. Women's rights activists welcomed this recommendation. Female infanticide persisted as the female to male ratio continued to drop-a reflection of the lower status of women and girls, who were more likely to be deprived of food, education, or health services, or to be seen as an economic liability under the dowry system.

Women whose relatives were sought by the police continued to be detained. In February, in Tamil Nadu, twelve women were illegally detained and tortured and repeatedly sexually assaulted in custody because of their ties to a suspected robber who had himself died in police custody. The National Human Rights Commission, a government-appointed body, also took particular note of alarming numbers of deaths in police custody."

Answer 18

First of all to clarify, are you stating in this question that the right for a woman to abort a healthy pregnancy of her own free is is a special privilege? And if so, please explain the positioning of that. Otherwise what special rights and privileges are you refering to?
