There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov
Another poor attempt!

Ah fuck this, back to more useful stuff..
I have no problem blaming her, I'm just not going to ignore the man's responsibility in it all.
Your analogy would be better if you showed that the man knew full well that by mixing the two vials, there was a very real chance that someone would come around and drink the poison. If he still chose to do it willingly, then he knew exactly what he was getting into.

No, I showed the logic in holding everyone accountable for the decisions they make in life. If a man has sex with a woman, he knows full well that she may get pregnant. That is a well-known side effect of intercourse. If they have sex, and she gets pregnant, they both "fucked up." You are just mad that the woman can determine whether she unfucks his part of the fuck up.
In the end, he is still responsible for the consequences of his action, which was the pregnancy of someone else.

Then don't become a father... or mother.

Are you saying men should not be held accountable for the consequences of their actions?
You get a victim card, you get a victim card, everyone gets a victim card.
Do you think you should have authority over what someone else does with their body? Or do you think men should not be held responsible for their own actions? It seems like one of those two is your only logical conclusion.
Except having rights over someone else is removing rights. When men can get pregnant, they can have the exact same rights as a woman in terms of keeping or ending a pregnancy. That said, I am fully in favor of financial severence ('abortion') for men if they really do not want anything whatsoever to do with the child, and that the ruleset for it is properly established.
What about women that go and sit on man? What about women that will not let man to get dick out? What about women that pierce condoms?
Women ('not all' ofc) in today's world want to be a single mother, because it enables them to not work, while man never will have opportunity like that - and this is why fighting for mutated equality is just plain stupid. If (most) people would still cherish family values, then world would be so much better.
This is why in my opinion no one should be allowed to remove another life, even if this life would be in someone else body. Sex should be a legal agreement that your body will be host for another life for 9 months. I get really tired when I listen over and over about feminazi getting pregnant just to get abortion (yeah it is just stupid, but if you would look on internet there is at least few cases like that).
If a woman pierces a condom, and it's her condom, then I have no problem with it. If she sticks a needle in a man's condom, then that's a problem. As for your first two sentences, I do not understand what exactly you mean.
Women are free to be single mothers, although I don't recommend it. There's plenty of evidence to show that children develop better in two-parent families. Of course, men are still more likely to be the cause of a relationship being terminated due to a pregnancy. As for your last statement, I don't know what you mean by "family values."
They're not going for a murder case...
Why are you bringing up murder? This hasn't been called a murder, he's not being convicted for a murder, there is no murder or any talk about it even involved in this case. What the fuck are you on about?
"Prosecutors are vying for a seven year sentence for the 26-year-old man, who has pleaded guilty to both inflicting serious bodily harm and terminating a pregnancy without the mother’s consent "
He poisoned her and caused a miscarriage. If you can't grasp why that's bad and why he should go to jail, then you're... well, lacking of intellect.
You'd prosecute someone if they conducted a medical procedure on you, without your consent, even against your will...
Then you COMPLAIN that a case of poisoning on a man only got a woman 10 years? Do you even know your own words?
What I find interesting is one of the charges being "terminating a pregnancy without the mother’s consent". Now, I understand there is according to Singer the feminist argument in defence of the mother's autonomy. But what interests me is if the father has no say in the matter of life and death of his unborn child, then he should at least be able to decide if he wants to support that child financially or not. After all in the spirit of equality, the father should be entitled to his own autonomy when it comes to responsability for a child.
Why are you omiting noun markers? WOMEN SIT ON MAN! LET MAN GET DICK OUT! UGH! WORLD BETTER PLACE!
No, no woman purposefully wants to be a single mother. That you think so suggests to me your great ignorance of actually having a family or being a single parent. Nobody fucking wants that. Nobody.
"Listen on the internet"? Show me at least one of these cases. The burden of proof is on you.
Nobody gets pregnant "just to get an abortion". Maybe you looked at the South Park WWE episode and thought Cartmans character was real?
The issue is that he also made a decision that contributed to the creation of the child. It was set at a previous date during conception.
Now, we have a maximum of three decisions, one being made by the man, and two being made by the woman. If we are to argue that, then a man would only have 1/3 of the responsibility, and the woman would have 2/3. Of course, the third decision may not be an action at all. It could be to take no action at all, which would mean only two actions (and possibly 3 decisions) were made. Nothing done by the woman would subvert the willful action taken by the man which helped lead to the pregnancy in the first place.
While I don't agree with what the guy did, I do understand why he did it. If a woman gets pregnant and wants to abort, she can do so, even if the man wants wants to keep the baby, whereas if the guy wants to abort and the woman does not, again he has no rights though in most (if not all) places I believe he would still be liable to pay child support. It's an unfair system where the guy has no rights and could end up paying to raise a child he did not plan for or want.
