Why don't men have reproductive rights?

Question

Shouldn't there be a landmark supreme court case granting men reproductive rights ( the right not to become a father). Why do the chicks get all the cool rulings?

Answer 1

They do it's called castration

Answer 2

There IS a landmark Supreme Court ruling about men's reproductive rights. It is called Skinner v. Oklahoma and it goes all the way back to 1942. And the Roe decision cited that as a precedent.

Men weren't the only ones who's reproductive rights were being curtailed by the 1942 decision. Ostensibly, women could have also been adversely effected by the Oklahoma law struck down. But it was a man who challenged it successfully before the Court.

Answer 3

they're working on it. there is no "fairness doctrine" of supreme court decisions: they decide on some cases and not others, but there was never an idea that they should make rulings that don't apply to the case before them.

here is the case coming up now. this dude has a great argument because his girlfriend swore she could not get pregnant, so they didn't use birth control. now he has to pay child support for a child he was very clear about not wanting, and even if she did not lie, i think there should be some way for men to avoid this sort of entrapment.

it isn't fair; roe gave women the right to not be mothers and i see no reason fathers should be different.

Answer 4

I've argued both in favor and against men having the same reproductive rights as women ... it's a complex issue and I think we'll eventually see some of it play out in the courts.

Answer 5

How about never. Conservatives and liberals alike oppose such an idea. Conservatives oppose it because they think it will create additional pressure for women to have abortions and will further undermine the family. Liberals typically oppose it because they are feminists and want women to have all the advantages in this area, as in everything else. That said, the reaction of feminists to such a proposal is entertaining to say the least. They seem completely unembarrassed to make arguments that they would never in a million years accept if the roles were reversed. More hypocrisy from the usual suspects.

Answer 6

Instead of being all bummed that men don't get any "cool rulings," why don't you find yourself an attorney who is willing to take you all the way to the Supreme Court, if need be, to fight for your reproductive rights?

Dingdong.

Answer 7

You don't bear children. As a matter of fact, a good number of your gender purposely give up their rights as fathers and deny responsibility for their actions.

I would work on convincing other men to take responsibility for their children before whining about not having any "cool rulings."

Answer 8

You have the right to keep it in your pants if you give up that right she can use it against you in a court of law so you can pay child support for the next 20 years.

Answer 9

You do. You have total control over your sperm...and the knowledge that it's contact with an egg will possibly create a child...since that is where your involvement ends....so do your rights. If you don't want to be a father...don't have sex. Same to the girls, as far as I'm concerned.

Answer 10

because laws are designed to protect broads. Judges are liberal idiots who believe men have victimized women for years and years, so when a man and women go before a judge a man is assumed to be guilty and has to prove his innocense.

Answer 11

Think of chicken choking as fetal infanticide and you're on the merry-go-round!
