well this is in support of your argument and none of it is evidenced by researchable articles, there are just things I have read in general (and possibly seen on Law & Order) but basically, even with adoption, the father must agree to allow the child to be adopted if the father is known. if the father steps forward and says "this is my child and I refuse to allow it to go up for adoption" guess what, the mother cannot allow the child to be adopted. and there is no law that says the father HAS to take the child if he wants it and she doesn't, so basically, yeah... it just doesn't work out for the woman. it never really does.

I, personally, cannot draw the line from legal abortions to a equality step for womankind. I am enlightened enough to recognize that this may be simply because I am a man, but it stands to reason that if legal abortions make women more equal to men, then there must be some sort of equivocal freedom already given to men. That is, some liberty guaranteed to men by our government that would dictate legal abortions for women simply by the balance of gender in our legal system. The closest thing that I can see to that is equal rights of the father when decisions for the baby are concerned. And sadly, men do not yet possess this particular freedom. We, as men, are bound by whatever decision the mother makes. This is not to say that the father should have priority over the mother, but as it stands, a soon to be father cannot contest an abortion of his offspring. The solution to this? Completely unfair to the mother. There is simply no way that a father could have the ability to veto a choice of abortion because that would deny the ( ... )
