What she did there? To me that is also a denial of consent. Again separating the legal from the moral. But still it is.

To take it a step further, and this may be too much for some people, but the issues of the inequities of reproduction fascinate me. It seems unfair (biological, but still) that women have to bear all the physical bs. But at the same time, if a man does everything in his power short of remaining abstinent to prevent a child being born, he can still get stuck with the responsibility. And its not just the money; like your ex’s personal trainer, its is also a life that you had a part in initiating. But a woman can do the same thing, but she has the option to abort. A man has no say in the decision, and he shouldn’t because it happens to her, but should he then have to take responsibility for a child he never agreed to? I honestly don’t think so.
