No abortions would happen if men wear a condom, why should it always be up to the women.

Sorry, but i think the responsibilty is more with the woman.

After all, she will be the one to carry the baby, give birth to the baby, and in most cases, be the one to raise the baby on her own, if the man is a deadbeat.

I also agree that some girls have now taken to using abortion as a form of contraception.

Even when i was 18 yrs old i had a friend who had 2 abortions because she had unsafe sex. To her, the abortion was no big deal.

I also know of quite a few girls now aged between 17 and 25 who have had at least a couple of abortions because they had unsafe sex and did not want a baby

And of course condoms are not guaranteed 100%. I've got a 27 year old to prove it.

no the responsibility is shared. or should be.

there are more options for men to contracept than just a condom.

but of course it is much easier to shift the responsibility/blame to the women as it always happened in history.

its not a matter of shifting blame to the woman, its a matter of educating sexually active women to take responsibility for what happens to their bodies and their lives.

Many men just wash their hands of a pregnancy and walk away, unaffected,

Women cannot do that, so it makes sense that they be wise enough to protect themselves and not rely on any man to do the right thing.
