Both science and religion recognize the life cycle of humans begins at conception. Anyone who denies this does it out of self interest. Anyone who takes the life of a child by abortion does it hypocritically, since they themselves live having not been subjected to it themselves. It is perhaps the only injustice worse than slavery, since a slave at least gets to live. If you read my comments carefully, I never excuse the fathers from responsibility, but the fact is that they are not the one currently allowed to make the choice to abort or not abort a child. Even so, they share responsibility for conception, encouraging the woman not to abort, and the support and nurturing of that child, no exceptions. Your willingness to let a child be dead rather than homeless (as if that were the only possibility) is heinous. Ask any homeless person if that is their preferred choice for themselves. If they don't choose death themselves, what gives anyone the right to choose it for them before birth?
