No, both mothers and fathers support the children they have. Choice has nothing to do with it
Except for all the choices the mother gets to make before she becomes a mother.
I will say that while a lot of men grip like hell about this issue. Nobody has offered or has shown any type of language that could be used to implement some legislation to deal with the inequity you believe isn't right...and that you've pointed out...and are so unhappy with. Let me repeat it:
I've already done this, even if I haven't gone so far as to write the exact legislation. It's bone simple: children do not have parents until their parents have signed their birth certificates. A woman chooses to bear a child, and chooses whether or not to keep the child-- as she does now-- and then she chooses a man to whom she will offer the child. That man, upon review, chooses whether or not he will accept the child. When this is done, both parents sign the birth certificate, the child is named, and they are both parents with full and equal responsibilities. If the chosen man will not sign, the mother has the right to choose a different man, raise the child alone, or give the child up for adoption.
It's really that simple. People choose whether or not to have children. People who do not choose to have children are not forced to be parents. People who do choose to become parents are more likely to raise their children responsibly.
Really...how did that happen? While that makes sense to you...two people co-create a conception and it doesn't make a billy-damn as to why an unintended conception occurred. The laws will never exempt one of those co-creators just because they aren't happy about the creation.
Again, except for the one they already give multiple opportunities to opt-out. Really, this has nothing to do with holding people accountable for the children they produce, and everything to do with saving money on welfare payments.
