Since you say so... :lol:
You are again missing the point. She can make any choice she wants to. She needs to be responsible for her choices.
Sometimes yes... that is why I put the caveat into the OP.
Deciding to have the child IS taking responsibility for her choice, just like having an abortion would be. Either choice is "taking care of it". Child support laws are about CHILDREN. What part of that is not sinking in here?
And if the man can opt out? What then? The child has one less support factor and the mother is just as likely to apply for social welfare, in which case we ALL pay. I would rather the man pay for his act than me pay for his desire to disconnect.
Rule of thumb: don't have unprotected sex with a woman who is not a suitable candidate to have your child and/or you are not ready to have a child. It's just that simple.
A woman can abort. Men have no such option. That's reality and it's not going to change. If the child is born then the man must pay. It's in the best interest of society for him to do so, and the courts agree. Sorry that it's a hard pill for you to swallow.
