I just want two comments: First, a man gets to choose which women he puts his penis into and thereby potentially create a child. Second, child support is not payment for sex, it is payment for support of a child he created when he made the first choice.
How to ‘fix it’ – wear a condom.
What does this have to do with Benghazi?
What a terrible writer you are. Just terrible. Your arguments make zero sense. I mean equating an abortion too getting punched in the belly while pregnant and losing the kid as the same thing? Despite your little disclaimer at the end your true colors are shown. I mean I really want to say some mean things but the best I can do is say learn to write it will help you communicate your message of ignorance better.
Sterilize all men…then we won’t have to worry about it.
I am just stunned by his ignorance and the assumptions he is operating under. This guy is an elected official and he thinks punching a women in the stomach and killing the baby is the same as a women’s choice to get an abortion? Scary, I will be voting this dude out as soon as possible.
Why does a woman get to play God, a pregnancy question answered and commented on by a man. My word I have found the hypocrisy, its you Joe.
Wow……disgusted
Lucky ol gals “holding all the cards”. My dream is one day we men control the world and we hold all the cards not those pesky free thinking women. Who allowed them to give birth and populate the earth anyway??? Oh yea, God.
Geez joe take this one as a do over.
Nope, you read it over.. If its a HUMAN when a guy kills it at 22 weeks, Its a human when the woman kills it at 22 weeks, Are you really going to say the “being” in her body changes status depending on who stops its life?
Part of society is too far lost in a cesspool of their narcissistic rut to know right from wrong let alone ever think of sacrificing 9 months of their life to save one. I was of the same mind once. But not any more. Hypocrisy for sure.
Well we dont have to let you know that we re pregnant…especially if our relationship is dicey in some way…and ultimatly we have to consider the life this possible child might potentially have…so I dont know what to tell you…its a very serious consideration for most people to make…be they in good relationship or no…its personal and its complicated….
Abortion is and will always stay a legal option. Move on, daddy-o.
This gal, Remee Lee has had abortions before and only decided to “keep” this one because she rjought she would trap the future doctor (med student) Andrew Welsen.
Wouldn’t the first hypocrisy be, not taking responsibility for yourself in the first place? Don’t want a baby? Wear a condom, or better yet get fixed! Classifying it as “having a little fun” seems extremely hypocritical as well. We grown ups know that sex equals babies. Your argument loses it’s legs when you don’t accept your first responsibility. Using the term punching a pregnant women in the stomach as an example of fair play sickens me.
You missed it as well…. None of what those men did was acceptable.. You guys all went into this as if this was a story about a guy trying to stop a baby from being born… amazing! I believe everyone including the woman needs to be responsible for their actions, BUT again not the point.
Remee Lee, the stripper thought she was going to marry the future (medical student) doctor, Andrew Welden. She has had abortions in the past and decided to “keep” this one. There is a double standard for women. What about if the man wanted the baby and the woman chose to abort? It has his DNA. She is only the oven for 9 months. Wake up men!
Not a good commentary. It’s 2014 not 1814. Grow up and get with the times Joe Messina. We now have rights as women in America, and freedom of choice and having medical privacy is standard. You can give your backwards sermons to your own children. I will teach mine freedom, choice, and responsibility.
WOw, nothing to do with a womens rights…
good luck!
Kim. Teaching abortion as a choice it is not teaching responsibilities. It’s teaching to run from them.
Hillary 2016
So sick of the right wing pushing their antiquated beliefs down our throats. Nobody is pro abortion but it is a woman’s right. Nobody ever tells a man what he can or cannot do with his body reproductive or otherwise.
The issue with Joe’s piece is that he wants to teach boys to take matters into their own hands despite what the mom/society wants. As a dad I of course wanted my say in terms of my wife’s pregnancies, but ultimately she had to carry the children and physically take on the pregnancy. I couldn’t just decide I don’t want these kids and push her down a flight of stairs to terminate the pregnancy. Joe wants to teach his sons/daughters that this is ok or at least on the same level as a woman’s right to choose. Scary very very scary.
You too missed the point of the article. Interesting. The piece has nothing to do with the morality of abortion. The men/boys who treated these women badly AS I SAID IN THE ARTICLE need to go to jail.
I am not against abortion. But I don’t like it. I do think it’s killing of a life. But simple fact is it is legal.
Same goes for guns I don’t think we should all have the right because there are some crazy people out there, but it is Legal.
What is the conclusion, if it is legal then STFU !!!
I’m not sure that the G d aspect stops at the decision to carry or abort. What about the woman that deliberately abuses a partner’s trust and intentionally gets pregnant. Thereafter, drags her former partner’s name through the mud in court so that he has no chance of being involved in the child’s life – oh, sorry, didn’t mean to open that box up…
To SCVnews.com: I will be ending my subscription to SCVnews.com for making the terrible decision to publish this commentary.
Bad move especially since the page that loaded this unpleasant commentary had a huge banner for Gloria Fortine-Mercado for Santa Clarita city Council – The visual is unequivocally damaging for her campaign as it will subconsciously relate her to this commentary to the masses.
To Mr. Messina… your ignorance is unparalleled. When you can carry a child in your womb then you can decide what to do with it. In the mean time, following Kai Ellis comment, you have the choice to protect your penis or not.
I wonder if you got kicked in the head really hard, if your ignorance will cease to exist.
That’s up to you, Vivian, but if we didn’t publish it, how would you know what your elected school board members think?
The only way you can respond just amazing… You missed the whole point of the article… Not worth the time to back over it…
No matter which way it’s done or by whom, it is killing a human baby, not a cat, a dog, a virus, a bacteria nor a parasite! Good for you, Joe, and God is with you with many of His blessings.
Thank You!
This is one of the worst articles I’ve read in my life, and I’ve seen some bad ones. You’re defending a man who kicked a girl in the stomach after she refused to have an abortion? Do you have any daughters?!?! It sounds like you hate women. Put a sock in it.
Your ignorance is outstanding… READ the article with understanding, I actually state these guys NEED to do jail-time. You missed the whole point.. and I will not explain it to you.
Many of you on this post hate me anyway. So its VERY hard to take what you post seriously. You can read any of my posts with any kind of open mind. This piece had nothing to do with the morality of abortion.. Nothing to do with When its a life. Had to do with your hypocrisy of what the crime is based on who stops the heartbeat. a MALE does it, even by accident in the form of a negligent act (and for clarity for those of you who don’t reason well, I do not mean the guys who intentionally caused these women to abort) can be brought up on manslaughter charges. A woman walks into an abortion clinic and stops the heart and its just a procedure. Therefore what you are saying is the woman decided if its a life or not Just own it, its what you want. The question again should you care to have honest dialogue is.. When is it a life?, When is it human? only when a man takes it? is that the identifier?
