Lol, no doubt. I can only surmise he is referring to choice the mother of his child made not to terminate the pregnancy. This choice, of course belongs entirely to the woman. The choices leading up to needing to make that choice, however, are obviously shared and have certain, fairly predictable consequences.
I obviously don’t know the back story though, so I’ll refrain from commenting.[/quote]
I can imagine a sympathetic situation in which both people discussed the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy and mutually agreed that abortion would be their choice. Upon getting pregnant, she reneged and he was forced to abide by her unilateral decision.
Or, it could be the old “women have choices, men have responsibilities” line. Women can choose whether to have sex, but they are given an additional choice if they become pregnant. A choice the man is bound to, one way or the other. [/quote]
Yup. You actually did hit the nail on the head with that one. She was supposed to be on the pill at the time too. I say “supposed to be” because I have wondered if the pregnancy was intentional.
