I definitly agree. We make sex offenders register but serious child abusers get out of jail and are not reqired to anything else, and most often do not even have to go to counseling. When they do it is a joke, with a best friend who dealth with an abusive parent who she was repeatadaly returned to after "counseling" I completely agree with this kind of law.

Why should someone who's had an abortion be forced onto contraceptives? Just because the time wasn't right then to have a child, later in the woman's life her situation could have improved and she may be ready to have a child.

Anyone who has worked in the Child Welfare system & seen the suffering of children born drug-affected or brain damaged from shaken baby syndrom, etc., would like to see these kids required to use contraception. Personally, I think they should be offered free tubal ligations or vasectomies. Not required to have those operations, but given them if they'll agree. Expecting them to follow through on their own doesn't work.

I totally agree and I believe that children are wonderful but that neglectful and dangerous parents shouldn't just be told to use contraceptive... what's so wrong with pushing some people to get vasectomies or get their tubes tied? And just because you had an abortion doesn't make you a bad person of such sometimes there's real reasons behind it and its something that for the good of everyone should be done. Other times it's for horrible reasons regardless of if you believe in the act of abortion in its self or not. And reckless men are just as responsible for these children as women... he wasn't praying while she was getting pregnant!

No--lets castrate the men who rape the women who then have abortions. Lets neuter the fathers. They do have fathers, right? Or men that don't pay their child support!

I agree with your comment completely...mandatory cut the tubes...men too...
No welfare unless cut the tubes either

Women are responsible for contraception because it's women that become pregnant.

Oh, I'm sorry Christopher. I didn't know men could shoot blanks at will, therefore not being responsible for pregnancy. It takes two to tango and I suspect you've got more than one kid out there with your name on it. Douchebag

It's ok, Andi... we're equal-opportunity listeners here. We even let the Trolls speak.

I get the feeling Christopher was being snide. Men have no say in their child's life if a woman has an abortion, so logically why enforce anything against them.

Not saying I agree in so many respects... if there was some kind of moral compass that told us who to neuter and when... I'd be all for it, both sexes.

But, if we're going to hold both accountable for the conception why isn't the father given any right to the life of his baby before an abortion takes place?

I think if men want such a say so in abortion or not then why not set up something like a contractual agreement to say that your going to take care of this child and support the mother for the sacrafices she's going to have to make. You know it's so easy to say that you don't want the baby killed but there's so many men who would say that out of conscience and then after the child is born he doesn't want to deal with the mother or the child. And women give up so much to have children, deal with hormonal and emotional issues, can sacrafice the ability to work due to child restraints or physical ones, and so many more issues.

Then maybe they shouldn't be sleeping together until they've discussed the issues and know one anothers position on the issue.

I'm in the medical profession and recently did an intense rotation in forensic pathology, which deals with child abuse and neglect. The most interesting thing that I learned is that it is WOMEN and not men who are more likely to be abusive, both physically and emotionally, both to spouses and to children. Also not paying child support is not technically child abuse. It is child neglect and under the law, they are completely different things.
