What you are basically telling me is to not have sex, be responsible, yada yada yada - just as the pro-lifers like to preach to women: "Don't want to wind up pregnant, don't be a slut there honey, save it for marriage.."

And my other option is to alter my body ? Why ? That's worse than the pro-lifers - at least they don't tell women to go get their tubes tied !

I think you know deep down that there is something very un-American about The State FORCING a man into legal fatherhood/economic servitude just because he had sex or because birth control failed. Sex is not an agreement to parenthood.

It won't happen for this generation, but my position - a man's right to choose - will win out in the long run because we Americans, in the end, value liberty and independence above all, despite all of the authoritarian bullshit we all have to deal with from each other along the way. Forcing a woman to bear a child or forcing a man to become a legal father/economic slave AS PUNISHMENT for casual sex - goes against ALL notions of 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'
