Having to draw one up together would force that kind of talk, and honesty. The one I put up is a simplistic one, just to demonstrate format. If I were to make one myself, it would be long. Very long. Covering everything I could think of.
One person turns out to be against abortion, they would find out early on and know this is not a good partner for them.
I think that before entering into a sexual relationship, it should be discussed, and a legal agreement drawn up and signed beforehand. If you do not agree on such an important topic, then you really shouldn't be having sex in the first place, and a relationship is probably not a good idea. It would save people a lot of heartache and bitterness.

Ok, one of the most important aspect in a relationship, and also one that seems to be the least discussed until too late, is children. Personally, it's one of the first topics I bring up when I am considering a relationship. I consider this world too corrupt to consider passing along my DNA and bloodline in. That is how I feel.

An example of what such a contract could look like:
I [names here] affirm that we are entering into a serious relationship, and are planning on having sexual relations. We both agree at this time, that we do not wish to have children. Should we both agree that we decide to have children at a later time, a new contract can be drawn up, nullifying this one.
If [woman] decides upon finding out a pregnancy has occured, to keep the child, then she accepts full responsibility for said child.
It needs to be short, to the point, and written in plain english, not legalese mumbojumbo.
Good idea?edit on Mon, 05 Nov 2012 05:20:02 -0600 by TKDRL because: bad html fixed

Tired of Control Freaks
You mean like the courts and a crazy mother ? Or are you saying sex has a cost ? If both parties agree on a contract then maybe both only want sex ! The man only has a choice to have said sex but after that, well he has none . If a woman wanted to get a abortion the man has NO choice in the matter as this is HER body . Then if she so chooses to have the child and run the man through the ringer in court , well still no choice ! The only time he has any say in anything is yes to sex ! So who is the control freak ? You must be a single mother . Stings a little huh? These contracts should be mandatory before sex as it takes two . And you can't tell me a girl has never begged for sex or got pregnant on purpose . So to each his own just sign the contract before you burry the bone .

Sure, I do understand, but a lot of people don't seem to. The discussion never seems to come up, until woops, I am pregnant. That is not good at all.

Well, seeing as how even after birth the child is still less intelligent than a common rat(which most people have no remorse killing) I think that it is no less horrible to abort then to set a mouse trap in your house.
Also, the consciousness of a fetus in the womb during the latest period it can be aborted is about that of a lizard, then yes abortion should be allowed. How about we concentrate on the sanctity of life for the thousands of children who starve to death every month. With each child born, where one could be adopted from one of these horrible places, it is much worse than abortion.
This is pure ignorance. Infants take time to mature and develop, including responses. But their brain is growing and developing at a rate that far exceeds the highest scholar on earth and are what you might call SUPER INTELLIGENT, MORE INTELLIGENT THAN EINSTEIN.
You know very little. Hit the books!
