Topic : 07/06 Baby Wars

I do not understand how that man could believe that he has a case.  Every time a couple have sex, they run the risk of pregnancy, whether they use contraceptives or not!  Unless one of you are surgically sterile, nothing is 100%!  He is selfish to think that he doesn't have at least some financial obligations.    

And what about this precious angel baby?!  She sure as heck deserves not to have a jackass for a father.  

If he wins this case, dead beat dads everywhere will make him a hero.  Shame on him.  Didn't his parents teach him anything?!  

I just thought that you were quite funny in the presumption that you can't get pregnant on birth control.  I have Three children that prove you can.  You see,  birth control that women use is not 100% because every body is different and some forms of the contraceptive do not work in all women.  The dose is too small or other health factors such as blood clots occur which many women get and can die from.  If a MAN or WOMAN makes the mistake of thinking that the "pill" or any other form of birth control is going to keep them from having a child, they are WRONG!!! Also, a woman can be told she is not capable of giving birth and does!  Wise up people!  If you don't educate yourself, you are leaving yourself completely vulnerable!  And any fool knows that this is not wise. 

She is taking responsibility for her actions and raising this baby to the best of her abilities however, he did not relinquish his parental rights and under the law is legally responsible for 1/2 of everything that baby needs to survive in the world.  Choice and concenquence.   

He needs to think of the child now and nothing else.  It is 50% him.  She is thinking of the baby and not really the money.  If she only wanted the money why is it that she calls him "dad" of "father" to her child.  She just wants him to take on his half of the responsibility and not leave it all to her.  He needs to take a look in the mirror and see who it is that he is really hurting in all of this.  We all know that it is not hurting him or the mom... 

im guessin neither one of them wanted to be a parent..  

they went out may have got drunk..who knows, they hit it off.  

then had sex..thats all. just sex..im sure they both did it before.   

so to imply he is at fault just isnt fair. the baby will be fine, your right he will not win, but it (if nothing else) should make the courts think more about the mans right..i hope anyway  

Why should he be forced to take care of  a child that he was tricked into creating?  I know that I don't want children hence why I'm on the Pill but if for some reason that failed to protect me I can and would have an abortion regardless of my partners feelings.  I do not want to be a parent.  Seeing as he was very clear on the issue from the beginning he shouldn't have to contribute at all and shame on her for forcing him too.  She knew how he felt and still proceeded to have the child hence this child is her responsibility not his.  

I know plenty of women who use their children to bleed money out of the fathers.  These are the women who live in welfare housing, drive a nicer car than I do, wear far 'nicer' clothes on themselves than I do, etc.  These are also the same women I hear denying these paying fathers their court-ordered visitation with their children, having their children calling other men "Dad" when the biological dad is already in the picture, and on and on.  These "poor" women like to paint themselves as the victims and like to say how much they need the money.  Well, it's just that...money, money, money.  So for anyone to say that this man is just trying to protect his money, maybe they should take a good listen to the women around them!  Yes, men and women's roles in our society are different, but to suggest that this man is just trying to cheat his child out of money is silly.  How many mothers receiving child support use the money for the CHILD?  How many use it on electric bills, food bills, heating bills, college savings, etc?  And how many are spending that money of overpriced clothing, manicures, and eating out?  Neither sex is perfect.  There are dead beat dads AND dead beat moms.  We just turn our heads and pretend that it's only a man's fault. 

I fully agree with the young man.  Any woman can have casual sex ... protected or not,  and know   

that if she conceives she has choices.  A man does not.  If he father's a child and the mother   

chooses to abort it .... he has no say in the matter, essentially no rights........... so,  why should   

he automatically have to accept responsiblily if she chooses to keep a child he would prefer to not   

be born.   

If the man is in a commited relationship or marriage that's a whole different ball game.  Once he   

commits to that woman then there is expressed responsibility for children conceived in that    

relationship.    

When the government legalized abortion it was all about women's choices ... we need  

legislature NOW to protect mens rights and choices as well..........
