Post Conception Opt-Out FOR MEN
This argument is not about biology. This argument is about the law. The issue is currently unequal under the law. This discriminates against men and forces men to pay for a choice that the woman makes.
- Women currently have a post conception opt out of having and paying for a child that they do not want.
- Men currently do not have a post conception opt out of having and paying for a child that they do not want.
Right now, women have all of the power over their pregnancy, and that is how it should be. They can have the child or not have the child. That is how it should be.
Women should be able to have sex, get pregnant and walk away from parenthood and from paying for a child they do not want (abort the child) if they want to, and they have this right.
Men should be able to have sex, get a woman pregnant and walk away from parenthood and from paying for a child they do not want if they want to, but they have not this right.
Currently men are bound to whatever choice a woman makes post conception. She can walk away, and he cannot walk away. This is unequal.
What many have proposed is essentially the following:
We might see people conflate the argument… insisting that biology and law can not be separated. That is utterly ridiculous. This is about post conception. She is already pregnant.
We might see the worst type of debate… the man has to pay and gave up all his rights once he came even though she did not give up her rights.
Anyway… thoughts?

What many have proposed is essentially the following:
- Man and woman have sex.
- Woman gets pregnant.
- Woman has options:
- Woman never informs man of pregnancy and aborts
- Woman never informs man of pregnancy and has child but never gets financial help from him
- Woman informs man of pregnancy and wants no financial support as they have some sort of joint custody
- Woman informs many of pregnancy and wants financials support from the man
- Woman has options:
- Woman gets pregnant.
- Man agrees to pay and has some sort of custody
- Man agrees to pay and has no role in the child’s life
- Man does not agree to pay for anything and wants nothing to do with her or the child
- Woman has an abortion
- Woman gives the baby up for adoption
- Woman has the child and pays for it herself
