Some would argue that since a man chooses to have sex, he should know the risks and know he is taking his chances, so he can choose not to have sex. Historically, many men chose to run and hide, so the cause of your burden is other men. Also, women are under the same rules if daddy gets to keep the baby, so there are plenty of poor moms out there as well -- I know some personally.Zebulon said:OK, I got one for you.
A man and a woman have consentual sex. She gets pregnant. He doesn't want the child. Too bad. The woman can do what she wants, even if it means this poor guy has to pay child support for 18 years, or get thrown in jail.
When a man is able to carry a child to term inside his own body with the full responsibility of this new life, then a man can choose. As it is, some psychologist say that because a man is not able to do this, he always has some doubt the child is even his, which makes it easier for him to walk away.A man and a woman have consentual sex. She gets pregnant. He wants the baby, she doesn't. Too bad. The woman can do what she wants, even if it means killing this guy's child against his wishes.
Nope, it may not seem fair, but life isn't fair. It isn't fair that women are paid less than men because women can have babies either, but that's the excuse, and that's the way it is -- for now. There is unfairness in this world, and it's up to us to change it.Doesn't exactly seem fair on either front, does it?
Two people have sex, two people should use birth control. Hopefully, these two people have something special, and they can work together to do what needs to be done for the child. But, history has proven it's pretty much a woman's burden, and I'd rather not put something like that in the hands of anyone else anyway. Hey, you can leave any time you want. If more guys had stepped up to the plate, maybe this wouldn't be so much of an issue. Unfortunately, it's the men who run out on their responsibilities who have you paying the price for it.And yes, I've heard the argument about the guy should use birth control. But, if he doesn't, he gives up all rights to everything?
Unless mother and child can get a guarantee you won't ditch them and leave them with nothing, then it should ultimately remain HER choice. There are men's and father's advocate groups out there I would advise you to look into. They have made a difference in changing child support laws in some states.Why should it only be a WOMAN'S right to choose?

Men should talk to their sexual partners BEFORE they have sex with them about issues like this.[/qoute]
Notice how the RadFems are further dictating more responsibilities to men, as if we must march to their tune?
I have a better idea to the RadFem nazis......maybe the man AND the woman should talk to eachother..but since this ignores human nature...

I stand for what is right despite certain failer.

Since American legal authority is founded on God's divine authority our State and Federal laws should reflect God's'a laws.

Ya know....in a way the playing field is pretty level.
If a well meaning Man gets a flaky girl pregnant, she murders their child.
If a well meaning Woman gets pregnant by a flaky boy, he takes off and doesn't support them.
Sounds like the well meaning Men and Women are fine people.
Apparently it's flaky girls and boys who are the problem.
