Someone else's abortion can't rot off your cock. Matter of public safety, and basic, basic, basic courtesy.

Wouldn't that also mean that you should divulge your entire sexual history to any sexual partner? Wouldn't it be just as relevant?

Why should a dude be notified when a woman's having an abortion?

That was my point. I said he shouldn't have to be.

Oh I misread. But yeah, abortion and STD/STI's are totally different things

i gotta say, as much as i understand this, i've been in more than one circumstance where abortion was the answer, and i was told what was going on and even asked what i think should happen. it may be a woman's right to not bring it up and go through with it, but from a guy's perspective it feels far more respectful when she does.

It's far more respectful to realise it's not your problem or has anything to do with you unless she decides to have it.

Yes, because it's important for each person to know where their partner has been.

i can see where you're coming from, and no offense, but i don't think you could possibly know, being that you can't impregnate people.

to illustrate what i mean, just take the grapevine. i'm pretty sure any male's heart would sink if by some means he found out from someone else that his child was aborted, whether he's pro-choice or not. it's just a painful situation. perhaps devastating even for some.

Are you saying that you think that a partner should tell someone they may have sex with every single person they've had sex with?
