137. You make a strong argument to the young women reading this board
on why they should take birth controll as a serious matter.

An unexpected pregnancy means a woman will have to make a very difficult decision. Luckily she will be the one who will make it. Should she be a mom? Should she abort? Should she adopt. All very difficult choices she will have to make.

All that being true though, I don't see why it entitles her to make decisions for the man involved too. It seems she has enough on her plate. The man should be able to make his decision for himself too. Should he be a parent or not? What more personal decision could there be?

And what is more oppressive than having another person legally order you to be a parent against your will. How can this be defended here?
