Financial abortion is super duper complex and I don't know where I stand on it. Introducing it as an option invariably impacts on the mother's choice over whether to keep the child, and may force the mother's hand which, for me, is far from ideal. On the other side of the coin, it gives more freedom to the father. Really complex choice as far as I see it.
Totally true what you say about sex ed :) Realistic, empowering sex ed is super important. I feel really educated about sex, and part of that is due to going to school in England in a secular school and being taught about sex properly. I wish everyone had the same opportunities as I did.
IN Sweden we have the first sex-education when we are 12, the second when we are 14 and then above that most parents are really open to their children about it. I was never told not to have sex, I was told to use protection and never do something that I wasn't comfortable with.
I get what you are saying about the financial part too, but at the same time a single mother should not keep it if she cannot afford it. Gender equality goes both ways and no one should be forced to become a parent against his will.
And to expect people to refrain from sex until marriage just isn't fair either.
Is it normal to believe that men should have no say in abortions?
