[I cannot think of a name]

I think this madness will only stop when the argument gets turned around in the opposite direction.

Some athlete or rich famous person will get a woman pregnant, that HAS the child. He will then sue based on the fact that it is entirely her body and entirely her decision, and therefore nothing to do with him. When this case is won, it will unfortunately let a lot of deadbeat dads off the hook - for a while.

I am betting that when the average sheeple finds out they will have to pay for kids these irresponsible dads are leaving all over the place, they may decide they do have an interest in this “my body, my decision” madness.

I believe that this reasoning has already been rejected by the courts. The man has no say in the death and can still be made to pay for the kid. After birth is both parents responsibility tto the child. So guys are screwed.

What fantasy-land are you living in? There's a majority of the US populace in which the fatherless children are already paid for by those of us who work and pay taxes. This may be a shocker to you but it's been this way for 15+ years already and it's getting worse, not better.

So with an article about a father wanting to protect the life of his child, both of you opt to ignore that and bash fathers instead.

That illustrates the problem: dads are demonized by default, exactly as both of you did.

Deadbeat dad laws are BULLSTALIN. I think they should pay what they owe.

I have never been married. I have no kids.

I have to show my socialist insecurity card to renew my driver’s license because of the State’s laws on deadbeat dads and denying them licenses.

I have NO sympathy for those who don’t want to show IDs to vote. I get far more anal probing to drive a car.
