She thinks, "That's just the way it is?" First off, that's a lazy response. Second, she doesn't care as long as it doesn't affect her personally.

His choice to say he don't want a baby is in a square little foil packet

so right a woman can put that child n a box at the fire station and nothing happens 2 her but a man can't refuse child support or he goes 2 jail

I agree, men should have a choice, and if women want to " opt" out, they should keep their legs closed

I was tricked into a one-night stand. 1 year before my first wife passed away. I was emotionally weak and saddened still. When the first woman wanted me. I was told she was on birth control. She adopted 3 of her sister's kids. My sister went to jail... I believed her. 3 weeks later. Hey im pregnant I ended up with custody because she was a witch in some words. after 8 years of custody.....Then the evil one talked my son into never talking to me again. She won over my son's mind. :( 7 years now. Daily I feel that pain I never would have signed my rights away. it would have been nice to have the opportunity to decide. I was forced into a life of pain suffering and love that will never heal. I focused all my time money and energies my whole adult life. to make sure my boy became a good man. only to have everything I had taught him. to be undermined by his crazy left minded thinking mother

That’s right, even if you sign your rights away that doesn’t get you out of paying child support. The man is stuck with it. The woman says it’s my body, It’s my choice. The man should have the right to say it’s my wallet, It’s my choice.

yes if the woman can why shouldn't me and also they should make it mandatory for DNA testing at birth due to women's unfaithfulness like real jail time for lying about a baby I think women should get the max for that since they tell men the baby is theirs and it's not, that should be a worse charge

it would do our society alot of good if this was the case. I think alot of people would be come more responsible, and less relying on other people or government assistance to provide for them and maybe less children will grow up in am environment like that which seems to replay generationally

"Said hey, little boy, you can't go where the others go 'Cause you don't look like they do Said hey, old man, how can you stand to think that way? And did you really think about it before you made the rules? He said, son That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is" that's a pretty shit answer if you ask me

listen to this lady. she stands for a man should be able to opt out a fatherhood just like the lady dropped out I'm either having a child or having a child. but the man can't opt out. but a man can't opt out. why? because he's bound to pay child support no matter what. this is a feminist discussion and one of them other ladies stands up and says how unfair that it said it man should have to pay child support if he wants to opt out. listen to discussion you'll get it

Moms can leave too but, ya I agree. Ppl should be jailed for abandonment whether it's the mom or the dad.

Even if the woman doesn't want or take child support, the child could sue him when it's of age

I 100% agree with her. Her friend could not agree with her because the current situation benefits only the woman. "Thats just the way it is" is a cop-out answer.

Depends. Is it that same situation, OR is it people that were together (not a one night stand) that broke up and then the man doesn’t want to support his kids? At that point, he’ll no, he needs to take care of his kids. The issue is how do you differentiate something like this. Would be hard to do. Conservatives don’t believe in killing the babies and both parents must take care of their offspring. Period.end.of.story.
