Question for women who have children, grown or not

The fact that the mother has sole authority does not change anything. It is her right to decide an not the males right to influence or shed responsibility just because he does not like the decision.

If it is her sole unilateral authority to make decisions-- which it rightfully is-- then the consequences of those decisions should be her sole responsibility. By what right does she compel someone else to pay for them?

This isn't ****ing rocket surgery.

Try making an argument against this principle that is not 100% logically identical to pro-life arguments why women should be forced to gestate and deliver children.

Her decisions does not change the fact that he has responsibility. You are looking at to separate issues here. Her right to decide and his having to take responsibility for his on actions.

So you're arguing that he does bear responsiblity for her decisions? That he can just be held accountable for decisions he had no say in?

How does that even work, and on what basis do you justify this supposed responsibility? What did he do-- that she did not-- that gives him responsibility for an unwanted child while she has authority?

No, I thought i was quite clear on this. He is being held responsible for his own actions. Did i not say that this was two separate issues. Her right to decide and his taking responsibility for his own actions.

And no, he does not have responsibility for the child. He is under no obligation legal or otherwise to have anything to do with being responsible for the child. His only legal obligation is of a financial one. If the woman decides to have a child then the responsibility for that child is on her.
