An abortion?

Not what I meant. In response to Greg's post, where he asked if antoher poster was OK for a woman to "abdicate her responsibility and leave the father as a single parent"

My point is - there is no way that a woman can do that, she still has to carry the child for 9 months and give birth to it, she can't just walk away. That's what I meant by "biological" way - in that, she has to be the pregnant one, the man (who may want to be a parent) cannot take that responsibility.

Having a child is also being treated with the same triviality. As a gay male, my chances of getting anyone pregnant are particularly slim so I like to think I'm viewing this without any particular bias.

Well, your chances of getting your partner pregnant are pretty slim. However, I'd have thought being gay doesn't disable your swimmers if you'd want to go the turkey baster route.
