Men only: Would you take "the pill" for men?

I was reading this morning about research being done on 'the pill' for men.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/06/11060...

and it occurred to me that it could have far reaching social implications in the US and other countries.

Women really first started gaining control of their 'reproductive rights' early in the 20th century through IUDs, and then by the 1960s had the option of "the pill". With the passage of Roe Vs Wade, in 1974, their control was absolute-they now hold exclusive power over whether or not to conceive, and whether or not a given man would be held financially responsible for her decision.

[this is something i've been bitching about for years, but bear with me on this...]

now with "The Pill" for men, males could actually decide whether or not to get a girl pregnant-moreso than with condoms (Which DO break-and are not an available option for those with latex allergies). Furthermore, the man won't have to worry about if she was lying about being on "The Pill."

So, would you take it?

Once it's marketed, do you expect to see a drastic drop in paternity suits and unwed mothers?

How will all those women support themselves without the 25% to 75% of the income of a former boyfriend?

far reaching social implecations?

    Absolutely.

    They'll have to get a job.

    Social Implications: Overall population reduction, increased job availability, decreased legal costs to both the individuals and taxpayer, and unfortunately a new means by which powerful groups can enforce their eugenics agenda.

    The pill and the legal issues are completely separate. There is no 100% guarantee on reliability of any form of birth control. But I'd take it.

    No, I would not. As a Catholic, I cannot use birth control other than condoms.
