When I saw the show today, I wanted to scream at the guy who didn't want to be a father. If he didn't want the responsibility, then she shouldn't have had SEX with her! This subject is VERY close to me. My son's father and I are in this same battle. I have endometriosis and was told I'd never have children. 10 years of no protection and no children, I believed it. I used a condom one time, got pregnant. Lost that baby and the Doctor put me on the pill. Two months later, here comes Jacob, my son. The only difference, he didn't show up the hospital when our son was born, he refused to sign the birth certificate, and has been running form social services for almost 3 years now. When he left us, he only took the clothes on his back and ALL of the money we had to our names. There was no food in the house, and I had no way of getting any money to put food in the house. FORTUNATELY my exhusband and I are friends and he helped us out. I can't believe that people have such a huge problem with responsibility when it comes to babies. Why is it a problem that women have all of the legal say so with pregnancy? Who is it that has to step up to the plate when the guy decides he's had enough, doesn't want to be a father, or thinks it's ok to get as many girls pregnant as he possibly can just because he's got the sperm? Let's see...... it seems to me that the WOMAN has to take the slack there. Don't get me wrong, I realize that there are some women that abandon their children, but I have a sneaky feeling that the numbers aren't equal. I know that in MY case Jeremy is the father of 4 children that we know of. Tow of his daughters are in Maryland, another daughter in Tennesee, and then our son. I'm not saying that today's guy HAS done that, but if he wins this suit, who's to say he won't become another Jeremy? Who's to say that winning his suot wouldn't pave the way for future Jeremy's? WHO is going to protect the CHILDREN in these cases? Let's be real here!
