You continue to say this. The child in question IS NOT YOUR BODY. You have to be completely daft to think so. So, stop your moronic trolling. This has been repeatedly explained to you.
And, the bill in question says nothing of the sort you, or the FoxNews article, are attempting to imply.
He uses his "body" to make money, so technically he has a point.
It would be fair to give men the exact same choice, in the exact same timeframe, as the mother to "give up the child". Sign a piece of paper and they no longer have ANY rights whatsoever to the child ever again and the mother can choose to have the child with the knowledge that she is on her own or she can choose to not have the child. That
would give both parties equal responsibility in the process, it would be virtually the exact same choice.
With that said, my father taught me pretty young that life ain't fair and ain't never going to be. Men get shafted in matters concerning family law, just the way it is and the way it is going to remain. A woman can have a child and never inform the father that he has a child with no reprecussions. A married woman can cheat on her husband and the husband can be forced to support a child that isn't his if he signs the birth certificate in some states. Hell most people know women that have committed flat out fraud when it comes to children, fathers, child support, etc with absolutely no legal ramifications. It sucks but there just isn't a good answer. Ironically if we started mandating DNA tests at birth (could you imagine telling your wife who just went through childbirth that you want a DNA test before you sign the BC?) the OP would probably be up in arms over that too.
But hey, we make more money, get to pee standing up, can write our names in the snow, aren't looked down upon for having lots of sex with different partners, have written almost all laws throughout our entire history and actually owned women for a very good part of it and still do in certain places. I say fair trade but that's just me.
PS: For the record, I
happily support my girls. They get far more of my monthly income than required by the state and I have never been bitter about a dime.
