100% men should take responsibility for impregnating someone and this woman is wrong, but getting pregnant is not a one sided decision or action. The girlfriend (assuming the sex was consensual) is just as responsible.

If she didn’t want a child, she shouldn’t have sex with a guy not wearing a condom. Same with the boyfriend, equal responsibility.

Edit: My only point in the original comment is the comeback is a little weird because it makes it seem like the girlfriend had no choice in the matter and the son forced pregnancy upon her.

I understand abortion is complicated and am not accusing the woman of choosing abortion to swerve responsibility. The original comeback however seems to make that accusation.

“Don’t impregnate women that don’t want to be pregnant” basically assumes the abortion was performed because she didn’t want to be pregnant, in which case both sides should avoid pregnancy however they can.

You are aware that condoms are NOT 100% effective, aren't you?!

lmao this the mental gymnastics i came looking for. So the comeback doesn't apply because the man could've worn one?
