Given the current laws once the baby leaves her body, the decision to start a family involving the father is again hers due to adoption, legal abandonment and biology.

The only option men can have for some equality is an option to terminate their involvement with a pregnancy basically no financial responsiblities to the child regardless like a sperm donar has.

That being said another right should be given to women to opt out of parenting too, in the sense that some don’t have to go to such measures as opting out the father too (through abandoment and adoption) just to avoid responisiblity.

Currently i disagree with the term pro-choice its should really be called “womans-choice”.

Regarding the reverse situation, the father wants the baby, the mother chooses abortion, I believe there is nothing the father should have the right to do. No one should have the right to force a woman to become pregnant or to force her to take an accidental pregnancy through to full term and birth. Although most of us desire equality between the genders, there are innate differences. One of them being that women conceive, carry and birth the off-spring. When it comes to having and raising kids, women are designed to trump men (obviously, men trump women in ways too). We should contentendly accept and live knowing that, based on gender as well as anything else, there are naturally built-in trade-offs and “inequalities” in life. And that’s just the way it is.

I found this through reddit, and saw you were looking for ideas on how to improve. I think you might want to delve into Charles’s motivations a bit more…what makes him tick, and why hasn’t he been happy with his other careers?

One idea to end it a bit less abruptly would be to say something that tied the careers together, like:

Anna looked over the list of careers. “Have you ever considered a career in management? Like your ranch hand experience, managers deal with crap all the time. Like your welding experience, managers try to hold things together. And, like your assistant press secretary experience, they have to make it sound like everything is going according to plan throughout the entire ordeal.”

If you wanted to carry the story further, you could then refer back to his varied experiences, talking about how each problem relates in some way back to one of his prior experiences. There are opportunities for humor by having a particularly obscure job (rescuing sea turtle eggs) relate to a current job in business.

Anyway, just some thoughts. Keep writing!
