If men gave birth, abortion-rights .....
Edited on Wed Oct-22-03 02:52 PM by Selwynn
would be a sacredly, vehemently protected and cherished Constitutional Amendment to the Bill of Rights, and no claim of moral concern would trump it, ever.

If men gave birth, theologians would unanimously find a way to explain why the right of the man to make personal choices is sacred, and affirm the right of men to "work out their own salvation with fear and trembling," to listen to and follow the advice of his doctors without persecution nor interference from the state. If men gave birth the rights of a man to make for himself the painful, challenging personal, private decisions about his life would be rigorously protected. If men gave birth...

If men gave birth, there would be six month paid medical leave, mandated by law, but the law wouldn't really be needed, because every corporation in American would happily comply. If men gave birth, Planned Parenthood would be one of the most cherished and protected organizations in the nation. If men gave birth, affordable health care would be universally accessible to every pregnant man regardless of his ability to pay for it. If men gave birth...

...but they don't.


The things we do to women, people....

*tear*

3. ALL CHILDCARE WOULD BE AT THE WORKPLACE
and government subsidized. You'd get a year of work PAID with each birth.

LOL, my favorite saying regarding this issue is:
If men could have babies, they'd only have one.

6. Ain't that the truth?
There would be no penalties for those single folks with children who are unable to travel for work, either...

Skittles is right - subsidized, hell, FREE, day care would be the norm.
