Reproductive Rights Should Apply to Men and Women As the nations prepares itself for upcoming hearings to fill the vacancy of recently retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, no doubt reproductive rights will be on the minds of many including fathers. For years, fathers have been left out of the debate when it comes to reproductive rights. Afterall, men do not have a womb and do not carry a child for nine months. They do not suffer from labor pains and the aftermath of post partum depression. Reproductive rights are the rights afforded to women only and men have no say. If that be true do reproductive rights exists if there are no men involved? Does reproduction require a man to be successful? Biologically speaking it requires the sperm from a man to reproduce which causes one to wonder why men have been continually ignored on this issue. The bottom line is without men there is no reproduction. So why do women feel they are the only ones deserving reproductive rights even though reproduction requires a man whether live with blood coursing though his veins or a cold lifeless test tube? Men for years have ignored their important role in reproduction but as this country moves forward and more and more father realize the hypocrisy of feminists and women in general many have already began to fight for their reproductive rights. Currently, women retain all the power before, during and after a pregnancy under the guise that it is their right and their right alone. Current laws also unjustly support that stance and there in lays the fallacy because without men that right does not exist. Women can decide to carry a pregnancy to term, place the child up for adoption, deny the father access or in many cases abort the child altogether ignoring the concerns of fathers. Women argue it is their body and they can do what they want eventhough the child is a separate entity created by man and woman and their body is only a vessel given to them by the Creator to foster life. It can be argued at the time of consensual intercourse and conception that single right becomes divided between both consenting adults and both should have the right to determine the fate of the fetus. They forget without the sperm of a man life would not be possible yet men are left outside the reproductive rights debate. If a woman does not want a child and the father does to bad for dad. Conversely, if a father does not want the child and the mother does to bad for dad. She can make him legally and financially responsible as well as employ vindictive and manipulative tactics only because she has reproductive rights made possible by those who feel fathers are insignificant and deserve no rights. It will require more than a new Supreme Court justice to define reproduction
rights. It requires a change in attitude on the part of men and women.
It may also require a more outward stance on the part of fathers who love
their children just as much as mothers. Men should began demanding their
reproductive rights because without men there is no reproduction which
is a truth that can not be denied even by a country which denies the importance
of fathers by denying them reproductive rights. Shouldn’t father
too have a right to chose and will that question be asked in the upcoming
hearings?
