You are held accountable because you impregnate women in the first place.
And women should be held accountable for
allowing herself to get impregnated in the first place. It takes two to tango, buddy. The woman didn't just lie there take it, she had to agree to have sex in the first place. Both parents need to be held accountable, and both parents should share equal responsibility. The system as it is does not do this. I don't know why you don't understand this. The issue isn't that men are held accountable. Its that men and women aren't held accountable
equally.
If the law was harsher on men, and implemented mandatory child support at conception, with threats of jail time, guaranteed men would be loudly complaining about this as they do about divorce rates, prenup, or any other social issue they feel shirked on.
Do you know anything about the current system? THIS IS WHAT THE LAW ALREADY DOES. Child support is mandatory, with threat of everything from garnished wages to jail time for those who don't pay.
If men are upset, they can choose not to ejaculate in women. Simple as.
And if women don't want to have a baby, they can not let men ejaculate into them. Simple as.
Adoption is an alternative to responsibility, not parenting. You are giving up your child to the state. For people who want the state to stop meddling in their affairs, your solution is to dump the children you directly created to the hands of someone else.
Adoption isn't giving a child to the state. Its giving the child
to another family. Children who are wards of the state end up in orphanages, not adoptions. Adoptions also aren't "dumping" children anywhere. The family who takes in the adopted child
choose to adopt the child in question. People aren't just forced to take children they don't want. Do you even understand how any of the systems you are talking about work?
Their emotional disconnect from the children they never wanted will pass on to their kids, and plenty of said kids note how unwanted they felt. They carry that for years.
So your solution is to murder the child instead so they don't feel unwanted? How is that a solution?
First and foremost, if men are having sex, you are choosing to ejaculate into a woman. Nobody said you couldn't wear a condom. Did it feel better not to wear one? Did you expect the woman to simply use birth control, which is the easy way out?
What are you even trying to argue here? Nobody in this thread has argued that the man didn't choose to have sex. But for some reason, you pro-abortion people seem to completely disregard that the woman in this scenario has
agency and can simply choose to not have sex, completely forestalling the issue the abortion entirely. You can't argue that women are "forced" to carry children to term without completely taking away a woman's agency and ability to say no to sex.
There are plenty of people here who state, repeatedly, that they want rape victims having children, regardless of how young or old they are.
Point to someone in this thread who said that, specifically, who wasn't an obvious troll.
You want to reform adoption and foster care services? That requires more government money, something you don't want to spend because it's your taxpayer money.
Who says I don't want the government spending money to reform foster care and adoption? I've argued in this very thread that that is something that should happen. You've raised up a straw man about me in head to argue against that instead of actually going after anything I've said.
It's not something pro-life politicians are advocating for, either.
Really, dude? All pro-life politicians are not advocating for reforming the adoption/foster care system? All of them? Speaking in absolutes is stupid.
You will crow about 'murdering children', yet the maternity care and other social support systems are not in place for women. In Texas your Medicaid will be cut after two months after having those much vaunted children.
Lack of "maternity care", whatever that means in this context doesn't make murder okay. Another problem with you pro-abortion people; you think that if a situation isn't 100% ideal, then we should throw out basic human morality and be completely okay with killing children, because the existence, or lack thereof, of government programs determines right and wrong to you.
Take this argument and apply it to any other situation and you realize how stupid it is. For example, "How can you oppose rich people hunting down the poor and homeless for sport? You don't support government housing programs, or welfare to take care of them. You crow on and on about hunting down the poor and homeless, yet welfare to help those people are not in place." See how stupid that sounds?
Why not? What's stopping you?
Reality. I'm not super man. I'm not George Soros with a billion dollars to burn helping the poor. I'm not God. I can't be everywhere at once. Nobody can.
You want everyone else to take responsibility and do better but you can't be bothered?
Did I fucking say that? No, I didn't. Once again, you love to create straw men and put words in people's mouths that they didn't say, to argue a point nobody was arguing.
Funny, because black children are adopted the least, and are the cheapest of all foster care children. This is NIMBY behaviour.
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? What is your point?
