As I said in an earlier post, I think the issue here has parallels in the race issue. When white people say "why do you still hold onto the anger about what happened hundreds of years ago" and "Look at how far we've come!"; these are indications that we have indeed not come nearly far enough.

The same applies here. When men assume that the choice to keep or not to keep a child and the ramifications that go with BOTH decisions is easy and then cry fould if they're left out of that decision, it becomes appearent to most women that they've much further to go in advancing the femenist agenda.

It might be you who is not progressive enough. Not to knock you, you sound like an upstanding guy. But there are MANY women who are racked with pain, guilt and shame for deciding to keep or not to keep a child and most of the men they are involved with are oblivious to it. My $ 0.02.
