Because 12 weeks is three months. You have three months to figure out if you (and perhpas your partner) want to kill the living thing inside you or give birth. And since we all know we can't force other people to get sterilized, Mari, as the gender that carries the child, it's ultimately our responsibility if we get pregnant.
Yes, some women that have had tubal ligation get pregnant. So? They have 12 weeks just like everyone else. Who said anything about the guy being able to skate anywhere?? You're confusing me....

This is the statement I'm questioning:
Anything after 12 weeks,
and the female should be stuck with delivery and adoption."
I think that under most circumstances 12 weeks is enough time. What I was asking about is the woman who opposes having an abortion on moral ground who gets pregnant due to a failure of whatever birth control method the couple is using (and NOT a woman who becomes "accidently" pregnant). Your statement sounded as if you absolved the guy of all responsibility for the medical costs and legal paperwork involved in the process of relinquishing the child for adoption.
