Topic : 07/06 Baby Wars

With all protections there is a chance of pregnancy, so if he was this seriouse about not becoming a dad he shouldn't have sex in the first place.  

The choice of abortion was originally for rapes and other extrime situations.  

There is no equality between man and woman in bringing a child to the world; he slept with that lady for howlong ? 10 minutes ? and he wants to have a right not to father the child. She had this baby growing in her for 9 months and gone through all kinds of emotions, that's why she has these rights because a mother is already bonded with the baby that is being born vs the dad who gets to know the baby from the birth.  

The thought of fatherhood is very scary for most men, and that why they shouldn't have the right to leave fatherhood.  

  I am a woman, and  I so wanted to rip this guy apart, but you know what, I can't. I can totally see where a man wants some rights to the decision making. Women have all the control, and the courts don't care, if your woman cheats on you, but doesn't tell you and the man finds out the baby is not his,--who pays--whoever is on the birth certificate, not who the biological father is. That definitely needs to change. I think there should be paternity tests done in the hospital and the results should be revealed BEFORE the signing of the birth certificate.  

  I also feel for the baby, he wouldn't even look at her, and boy was she cute. I am wondering if he is purposely avoiding contact so he doesn't fall in love with his daughter. You know, if he accepts her he may have to drop the case.  

  I also feel for the young woman, what if she were told that she could not conceive? I know I would not abort or give up a baby that could be considered a "miracle". This should be an interesting subject to follow, especially since they may be revoking ROE V. WADE anyway. Then where will this go since they are using this case as their road map?  

I agree, if they don't want to be a father, then don't play.  Remember you can only jump from the fire into worse situations and that is always what people should think about.  However, think of this, DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU!  Live your life this way and things just might change.  Try it for a month and lets see what happens. 

Matt can always get a vasectomy and have it reversed later in life, so where's his responsibility now????????  Don't want to be a Daddy, Father, whatever, then take responsibility for that before the FACT not AFTER! 

Thanks 

I am so sick of men saying they have no rights when it comes to pregnancy.  If they don't want children, then they should take precautions as in having a vasectomy or abstinance.  Why do they always think the woman should be made to carry a baby to term if she doesn't want to?!  They do have the right to keep the baby if the mother is putting the baby up for adoption, providing the man knows about the pregnancy.  If only MEN would TAKE RESPONSIBILITY by having a vasectomy or always using a condom (or a sock as they prefer to call it).  Why does Matt think the rest of us should pay to raise HIS child on welfare?  I never wanted children in my early years so I took precautions and never became pregnant.  And I would never play a trick on a man to have a baby because I AM the product of what my own mother did and therefore have never known who my father was, he was not the man she was married to at the time...  So my question to Matt is, why do you think YOUR BABY IS NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY?  You made your choice when you had unprotected sex.  What would you be saying if she had given you AIDS instead of a baby?  The door swings both ways, it is half your fault that she became pregnant, it is not my fault  or any of the other tax payers of this country.  Maybe your parents want to be grandparents to this little girl, you are so selfish you make my stomach turn!  Grow up and spend your money on your child instead of that attorney that is totally clueless to what being a parent is.
