Why is a man who chooses not to be a father a dead beat, but a woman who chooses not to be a mother pro choice?

Or is this just another example of the blatant double standards women call equality in this country?

    Because the father is abandoning the baby while the woman is ending a pregnancy before it becomes a baby. If the mother gives birth and abandons her baby she's a dead beat too.

    No man who had a vasectomy at 18 because he knew he never wanted to be a father would ever be called a "deadbeat".

    @Foofa: Clueless. Men can not get a vasectomy at 18 as they won't be able to find a doctor willing to do it. 

    Answer: 

    A woman that aborts is already a mother. What she decided to do was kill her own child in order to get out of carrying, birthing, and raising her child.

    Deadbeat is a person who is not willing to work, does not behave in a responsible way, and does not fit into ordinary society.

    Not a man who chooses not to be a father.

    Pro-choice mean  favoring legalized abortion as an option for an unwanted pregnancy.or supportive of a woman's right to choose whether or not to undergo an abortion.or advocating a woman's right to control her own body (especially her right to an induced abortion)

    If a woman chooses not to be a mother, it doesn't mean automatically that she is pro-choice.

    Your question does not make any sense

    You are obviously trying to play word games.

    Pro-Choice has nothing to do with deciding if you do or do not want to be a mother.  It has to do with a woman deciding to kill or not kill her unborn child.  

    If a man or woman doesn't want to be a father or mother, it is simple.  Just don't have intercourse.  Once you do you are saying that you are willing to accept the chance of becoming a mother/father.
