Go fuck yourselves, and if you get yourselves pregnant, then it's your body, your choice. Otherwise, STFU, assholes.

Sane, decent people

(5,141 posts)I was blissfully unaware that any of our people could actually be in agreement with that fuckwad! Were not fucking incubators! If it grows in my body, if it comes out of my body its MY decision and mine alone.
And an extra FUCK YOU (while Im at it) to my first husband who married me knowing I did not want children under any circumstances and spent 3 years hiding my birth control pills.

I know you were kidding but I think it's important to say that.

(47,209 posts)I could never get a doc to sign off on getting my tubes tied, heck I had to blow through 3-4 doctors before I found one who'd give me an IUD, because they thought it could damage my fertility. I was happy to damage my fertility- the docs didn't trust me not to change my mind.
Pretty annoying, all those years on hormones.

(27,985 posts)Women generally do discuss pregnancies with their partners, they just shouldn't be legally compelled to.
If they don't involve their partners, it's usually for good reason. If you are about to sleep with someone and you don't think she would involve you in a discussion about pregnancy and that's important to you, don't stick your dick there.
Don't fuck people you don't trust to have such discussions with you if that is something you value.
How hard is that to understand?
The end.

However, if you have sex with a person who has a uterus, you need to acknowledge that should your sperm meet an egg and conception occur, you have no say. That's because each person has the right to bodily autonomy. You aren't forced to give up your kidney for the same reason. Once there's a human in the world below the age of 18 with half your dna, then you can participate in decision-making about that human being, but wonders of wonders! You can't force that human to donate a kidney or a heart either. Miraculously how that bodily autonomy works, huh?

Know the person you're getting into a relationship with. Or, at least, that one little detail.
That goes for men AND women.
He wants kids and she doesn't? Deal breaker.
She wants kids and he doesn't? Deal breaker.
He would force her to bear a child she didn't want? Deal breaker.
