   ==>True. Much like contractual obligations, one can't stop the woman from

   		Fine.  Then, by the same token, you should be   
   		punished for engaging in behaviour that harms   
   		life -- such as smoking, drinking alcohol, overeating,   
   		not getting enough exercise, not getting enough   
   		sleep. . . .   
      
   		Why not?  If a woman does not have absolute   
   		sovereignty over what happens to her body,   
   		why should you?

   than the birth of one more unwanted child.
