A group in the US is lobbying to apply a bit of "men's-lib", giving men the same right to choice as women regarding pregnancy

It appears that political correctness pervades into every element of our society. In the US a men's group is calling the feminist movement's bluff with regard to “reproductive choice”. They say that if women have the “right” to terminate any pregnancy without a man's consent, the same right should exist for men who want to opt out of fatherhood.

The National Centre For Men is soon to file a suit saying that the law is unfairly slanted towards women without regard for the “right to reproductive choice” for men.

It seems that the idea has stirred up quite a hornets nest, with the suit being cited as yet another opportunity for men to run away from their resposibilities as fathers.

Whatever your views, surely if you made it, you should have a responsibility to keep it?
