Here is a situation where I have to admit that I was wrong. I got sidetracked on the whole "assuminmg the risk" argument. The fact is that when a couple has sex they do assume the risk that the woman could get pregnant. But since the woman is the only one that can get pregnant she is the only one who has a right to terminate the pregnancy.
Once technology reaches the point that a fetus can be gestated without using the woman's body then the woman could be subject to being fionancially responsible for the child the same way as the man is.
The law should be that every person has control over their own body. Changing the law now would give the man control over the womans body. The principleof law should not chaneg. It just has to wait for technology to cathc up.
The interesting thjing is that this argument is usually brought up by the anti-abortion crowd, yet they still would not support the decision to have an abortion even if both parties agreed. This is an entirely different issue, and is actually just a red-herring in any discussion about outlawing abortion.
