42/NA/HI, Hawaii Join Date: Apr 2008 | Hello. The other day I was involved in a conversation about abortion and the guy that I
was talking to made some comments that I found highly offensive, disrespectful and
sexist toward women. His wife, whom is my friend, told me that the comments were not
disrespectful, so now I'm a bit befuddled. The comments in question are listed below.
Do you find them offensive, disrespectful or sexist toward women?
Any comments about your decision would be a bit helpful. Thank you.
Quote: The onus has to be on the girl if she doesnt want to fall pregnant.
Quote: If she then falls pregnant a second time and wants another abortion, she should
then be sterilised so there will never be a third.
Quote: Its the woman that has to carry the can for whatever situation she finds herself in.

17/F/, Australia Join Date: Mar 2008 | I'm going to agree with him. If you're the one who's going to be screwed over, it's heavily your responsibility to ensure nothing happens. Too many people blame the guy for not using a condom, when she clearly didn't say no. Many also screw up taking the pill. It's your responsibility to ensure you're doing it right and deal with the consequences.
Also agree, you screw up twice, sterilise her. If you can't learn from the first time, save her the $400 of the next abortion, and the one after that. If that fails, at least we're stopping idiots from pro-creating. Yes, accidents happen, but the chance can be minimised and you now have the morning after pill. No real excuse for two accidents. It's become too common a thing for people to ignore and contraception and planning on the off to just get an abortion if anything happens. That is a little disturbing.
Who ever was under the impression the parent should be told of an abortion, it's the same as with any other teen medical issues. They gave us confidentiality so we would go get professional treatment and not a coat hanger and vacuum cleaner or "trip" down the stairs. | | |
