To be honest, I actually agree with Echo and Baby J.

Women have 100% right continue or terminate a pregnancy. Men have 0% rights when it comes down to it.

There is going to be a case coming up real soon that will undoubtedly get National attention that addresses this exact issue.

There is a man (can't remember where) that throughly discussed with his GF at the time that he DID NOT want to be a dad. SHE told him that she had a disease that hindered her from getting pregnant AND she was on the pill. We all know what happened. She GOT pregnant. He is now claiming that exact same thing Echo brought up. He is saying that he TOLD her specifically that he did NOT want to be a father now and SHE assured him it was NOT possible according to her doctors. NOW she is suing him for child support of course and he is fighting it. He has never seen the child, doesn't want to see the child, doesn't want to support her, and pretty much said he's being forced to be a father against his will.

Personally, I think the man has a point.

His attorneys brought up the exact points Baby J brought up. If a man expresses IN THE BEGINNING his wishes and the mate is in aggreement, why should it fall upon ONE person to pay child support on a child they never wanted. The laws right now have NO provisions to exempt fathers in situations like this.

Does this open up some ugly doors? Oh yeah. But does it give men a say so equal to women? Absolutely.

The ironic thing is that even with all the uproar about this possibly opening the door to dead beat dads to let them off the hook......it happens every single day anyway. How many times do we not see that anyway? "My baby's daddy aint around...", "His father aint around....", "His father's in jail..."???? Dead beat dads will be dead beat dads regardless of laws IMO. Once you accept paternity of a child, it's a done deal. BUT if you never wanted to be a father and you expressed that and you took precautions against it and then you are FORCED to be a father......I don't think that is anymore fair than anything else.

It's a sticky situation (no pun intended ), but I think it's about time men had some rights too.
