I'd be miserable and struggling with the baby, the baby would be miserable...it's not worth it.
It's too much of an inconvenience for your life, so your choice is to murder your own child? Ever heard of adoption?
It's weird and slightly disturbing to think that i'll be killing/destroying that partially developed baby.
Yet, you say you'll do it anyway. Disturbing to some of us that others would have little guilt over their own child's murder.

Wow.

First. IT'S HIS CHILD TOO. So what if he doesn't have to carry the child to term, it's still his child. You could use the same logic to say that all of the furniture in any house belongs to the man of the house, because he's most likely the one who carried the furniture inside.

Second. Ever heard of "child support"? It's this weird new thing where the father is forced to pay for his child, and if he doesn't the money is automatically deducted from his paycheck. He could even go through some big fines or jailtime if he avoids it. So even if a child is nothing but a financial drain, why shouldn't the father have any say, since it'll be his finances?

Third. And probably most important. Murder is not a get-out-of-inconvenience-free card. Everything has consequences -- even sex. If one does it irresponsibly, consequences become more likely -- said consequence being pregnancy. The responsible thing to do is, if you can't handle the consequences, DON'T DO IT. The somewhat less responsible, most reasonable thing to do is, if you can't handle the consequences, do it responsibly. Believe it or not, an extremely small percentage of pregnancies happen because of a failed birth control.

Fourth. If you think "all the guy has to do is put up with it", you've obviously not done much around pregnant women.

And fifth. You DO know that more men support abortion than women, don't you?
