You, as the father, as a man, would abandon and reject your son of eight years?

I don't think that most people on this thread are talking about abandoning anybody. We're simply saying that, if the court recognizes the right of a third party -- the genetic father -- to step into this child's life at any time with little regard for the rights of the father who raised him (there are ample precedents of birth parents asserting rights over adoptive parents), then those birth parents incur liability for failure to live up to their obligations. It's my contention that, quite aside from the child's well-being, the right of the cuckolded husband to be compensated for raising someone else's child is fundamental.

Which is horrible.

This country has gone mad. This is the liberal view foisted on on in the last thirty years and so many here are going along with it.

They think we are animals, so blood, tribe, ethnicity etc... are all important.
