Topic : 07/06 Baby Wars

I would like Dr. Phil to ask Matt what would happen (heaven forbid) if Matt should become sterile himself and never be able to have another child.  Would he be forever wanting the child he has now and will not have legal rights as a father in the future - as if he will win this argument?  How would he feel about that?  

He's a daddy, like it or not.  He was old enough to know what causes  

it. 
So he should pay the child support.  He's just a "deadbeat" looking for an  

excuse.  

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but EVERY woman who has EVER had an abortion for ANY reason should be told the exact same thing you just said about this man. I disagree with abortion, but I agree with what this man is saying. Every woman in America has the right to choice. Regardless of what the father says. Well if she can have an abortion, then why in God's name is any man being forced into being a father if he isn't ready? You say not to have sex, well every woman who has an abortion has the same choice. Are you saying that a woman who has an abortion should then have a hysterectamy so that she can't have anymore children? Or that she just shouldn't be able to have sex anymore? Laws favor women all the way around. If a woman gets pregnant it is her choice to have or rid herself of the baby. If a married couple seperate, most of the time the woman wins custody of the child. When do men get rights? When do men even get a say? I was 17 when I got pregnant for my first child, and the first "option" that was discussed with me was abortion. Did ANYONE ask the father how he felt? NO. I didn't even have to have his consent IF I had taken that option. So let me understand what you all are saying. A woman should have an option on having a child, regardless of the fact that sex goes both ways and BOTH parties consented, but the man should be stuck with any decision made by a woman? That isn't just wrong, but that is sex discrimination. How about women sucking it up and dealing with the mans choices regardless of wanting it or not. Doesn't that seem equally as fair to you? 

And just for clairification, I am female. Always have been. 

I don't think that a man has the rights that women do. I realize that they might have had unprotected sex, but that happens everyday. I think that she lied to him as so many women do. There are women out there that want babies and don't care how they get them. Then when that happens, the women wants to throw a man into being a daddy and if they don't want to, then she wants to stick him with a big child support payment. What happened to what he wanted? What would have happened if she wanted an abortion and he did not? He would have had nothing to say about it because it is her body and her rights. How fair is that? I bet that if he wanted to take away his parental rights then she would throw a huge fit because it takes away that money from her. If she wanted a baby so bad and knew that he did not want one, then she should have adopted or gone to a sperm bank. Men do need more rights when it comes to these things. Women need to stop whining all the time and take some reponsibilty for what they have done to.
