I mean, you totally could sleep around and just get abortions if you get pregnant, because that's just a personal lifestyle/medical choice between an individual and their partner(s)/doctor(s). As for walking out on your child, I assume you mean after they're born? In which case, single parents definitely exist, yea, both single mothers AND single fathers take care of kids by themselves after another parent is absent for whatever reason. Either parent can walk out of their child's life, as sad as that may be. Men can already walk out on a child before OR after they're born, so I'm not sure what you're asking...

“Men can already walk out on a child before OR after they're born, so I'm not sure what you're asking...”
That is called a deadbeat dad and there are laws against that. At least in every state I have lived in. Even had billboards for dads that were deadbeats posted. So while they CAN do it, they are legally held responsible (read: punished) if they do. That was a pretty ignorant flippant way to address that point.

The previous person's argument was "if women can walk out on the child what about men?" but either parent literally can walk out at any time if they want to, so I'm not sure why it's phrased as if they can't. Both single mothers AND single fathers absolutely do exist, because any parent can already be absent for any reason. Your only legal obligation may be child support, and even that is still just optional at the behest of the other parent; unless the other parent takes the legal action to demand child support, there is no other punishment or consequences for… Read more

Um please let's have a shred of morality here.
@VulcanMan6 11mos11MO
You're right, let's. It is perfectly moral to agree that a person has every right to choose to abandon their familial obligations, if they so choose. As sad and unfortunate as we may think that is for someone to do, it would be morally unjustified for us to force our personal beliefs onto what choices they can or cannot make with their own lives. If someone really wants to walk out on their family, for whatever reason, that decision is for themselves to make and to live with. "Morality" is subjective, as much as we may wish it weren't...
@TruthHurts10110mos10MO
This is amazing. Flabbergasting. Made we spit out my coffee and wonder at the stupidity of today's world. So you think that the government doesn't have a right to ban abortion? That's funny. Really funny. Because I read quite a lot of the answers you gave on your quiz and you seem to be perfectly fine with all manner of huge government, Statist programs that are dangerous to life, liberty, and limb but somehow don't think the government can ban abortion. That's as stupid of an argument as claiming that just because murder is wrong we can't impose that on murderers by punishing them. This is a wicked and perverse generation, God save us all.
Morality is far from subjective, in fact there's a great book on it. It's called the Bible.
@VulcanMan6 10mos10MO
lol the Bible is a work of historical fiction and mythology, so I'm not surprised that your entire ridiculous worldview is founded on it...
@TruthHurts10110mos10MO
You heretic! God Save Us All.

I agree with this perspective. Consider the situation where a person is trapped in an abusive relationship. They have children, but the cycle of violence is damaging to everyone involved. If this person chooses to leave, even though it means leaving their children behind, they're making a difficult choice that they believe is for the best. They're choosing to prioritize their own safety and mental health, potentially with the hope of creating a better future for them and their children.
In this scenario, we see the complexity of these decisions - they're not always clear cut, and they're often made in the context of challenging circumstances. So, doesn't this lend credence to the idea that individuals should have the autonomy to make these choices, rather than having society dictate what is 'correct'?
