If men could fall pregnant-?

Question

-and wanted to keep the child (when you didn't want to have any children yet), ladies, what would you do?
1. Support your partner as best as you can? Financially and emotionally?
2. Leave the man to deal with it on his own?
3. Push for an abortion?
4. Other? Explain?

What if the man didn't want the child at all and decided to terminate the pregnancy, what would you do?
A. Support the mans decision, after all it's his body?
B. You really want the child and would try to convince the man not to abort?
C. Other?

If the situation with pregnancy was reversed, would women be completely comfortable with men having the final say in what happens?

Quote-
'Women should have no say in the matter. Our bodies our choice!!!!'
Ok, but the baby takes two people to create it and when a woman becomes pregnant, men want to have a say in what happens as well with the child which IMO is wise to be able work issues out together, but if men were only concerned about 'their bodies', then that's only taking a backwards view don't you think?

Gldjns, no, I haven't been wronged by a man in this situation and I'm trying to stress that with the issue of pregnancy, alot of men in real life are left out of having any say at all with what happens to their child as well.
I don't believe for a moment that just because it's a womans body, that what she says is rule. It may be the womans body, but the child belongs to both man and woman and there should be more thought and compromise on this issue.
So I turn the tables and ask women what they think about whether they should have a say or not, when alot of women don't believe a man should have any say at all.

Answer 1

Wow... great question.
I myself am 7 months pregnant, and in an interesting situation because the father left my baby and I because he's irresponsible. So, to look at the reversal role is actually quite amusing to me, and I think a brilliant way to look at things.
Knowing what type of person I am, I would personally support my partner as best I could, and if he decided to abort, I would give him my reasons for supporting the abortion or convincing him why we should keep the baby (based on our situation at the time). I do think either male or female, if she's going to have an abortion (with very limited exceptions to this rule) both parties have a right to know if abortion is a factor. So, supporting the man's decision without serious acknowledgement and consideration of both parties' view and input, would not happen with me.
But, that's just my opinion.

Answer 2

I just have to say I am surprised at some of the response from some of these women about how they would like men to be more involved the decision of an unborn life.

Even though a baby won't be growing in me, I would like to think that because of me that baby wouldn't exist and stuff. Thus, I should have a say in the life of my unborn child. According to the law and the fact it is a woman's body however, I can't have the final say in such a decision if she doesn't want it. Something, I got to live with unless I can find a women who let me have a say in such a decision.

I wouldn't mind if the situation was reversed a few men can learn from it.

Most people who do abortion no matter if it was the man or woman who made the final decision just don't want the responsibility. Birth control is good, but sex has become recreational these days people don't really think through the consequences. There a some women and even more men that don't know what birth control works... thank you abstinence only sex ed. I guess.

Answer 3

First of all, your question, being hypothetical, makes me wonder if perhaps you've been in the situation, and turning the tables is a way of getting back at someone you feel has wronged you, in this case, a man. I wouldn't think a man would ask a question like this, but I've been wrong many times. Okay, basically you want confirmation that supporting your decision, whether to keep the baby or abort it, is your decision and your partner should abide by it. I agree, that even though it takes two to create life, it is the woman who has the greater participation -- like nine months worth -- and pregnancy is not always a fun thing. Then she has to go into labor, which is also not as much fun as going out with the boys and playing poker. And finally, the responsibility of raising the child usually rests on her. So taking those three factors into consideration, I would say yes, the decision is yours, and your partner, if he really cares about you, should support you in that decision and support you after the baby comes, for that matter, too. But if you decide to have an abortion or put the baby up for adoption, that's your decision too, and to heck with what he says.

Answer 4

Well, I'd like to believe it'd be the same if I had grown up a man. If the situation suddenly was reversed now, I'd certainly be supportive of the man's decision. It would be his body. In that case, while the child would also be mine, it wouldn't be me spending nine months incubating it, for want of a better word. I think a lot of people underestimate how hard pregnancy can be, and I don't want to force someone to go through with that if that's not what they want. If I really wanted the child, I'd mourn if he got an abortion, but I wouldn't try to guilt or shame him into keeping it. I can have another kid at a better time with a person who wants it, but he would be stuck with a kid he didn't want if I somehow made him keep it.

Answer 5

Right now, I'd do 3 and A, push for an abortion, since my partner is 51 and is not likely to have a healthy baby, and has already told me he does not want any more children.

Whether he wanted the child or not, I'd support his decision, since it is his body (A). I'm not the one who'd have to carry a fetus for 9 months, and take a number of risks and likely deal with health complications that could arise with such a late in life pregnancy.

Answer 6

That is a really tough question. I wouldn't want him making the decision for me, but then again I would. Well, not making the decision, but deciding together. Um, I would think, well I got myself in the situation by having sex in the first place, and if I didn't want a baby, I shouldn't have been having sex, so I would say deal with it.

Answer 7

a excellent guy could poke you interior the ear hollow, then he can fxxk some experience into you. 10/10 for the main ridiculous question this month. do not commence quoting the unusual situations the place an embryo has lodged in his siblings' chest or something like that the two. that's not a being pregnant.

Answer 8

For me, I'd say 1 and B. I wish that everyone would have that same view point. After all, its our decisions that lead up to pregnancy, people should be more responsible when it comes to something as serious as a new life.

Answer 9

If men could get pregnant I reckon most of them would give up sex. But some wouldn't. I even had a gelding (ex stallion) once who used to fret about foals like a worried mother. Anyway - I reckon if we have consenting sex, on each head be it. A mother's body is her own, whether male or female. Early in pregnancy the infant is a mere bunch of cells. So I reject all the religious baffle-gab. It's the mother's choice to go on with the pregnancy or not. Certainly the "father" (of either sex) has a proprietorial interest in the infant - but that's his problem, not the "mother's". We are not cuckoos, planting our offspring in others' nests, or wasps laying eggs to hatch in the body of our victims. But if there is dispute, it is the responsibility of whoever decides to go on with the pregnancy to support and raise the child. So stiff bickies. That's my sentiments, anyway. In all things, I found a certain ruthlessness clarifies matters - as it did when Solomon offered to divide the disputed baby in two. Wise or not, it was shrewd and appropriate to settle the issue. Similar clarity in advance would help many.

Answer 10

First of all,I would be tickled pink to see how a man would give birth but in all honesty and seriousness if he decided to keep the child,I would do my best to help out.
