“Karen DeCrow, former President of the National Organization for Women (NOW), telling the court in 1981 that her client should not be held to a child support order on the grounds that the mother had deceived him into the pregnancy by lying about taking the contraceptive pill. “
Here is my problem with this. Why is the man or any man telling a woman what to do with her fertility? Now wait a second before you explode okay? He does not want the baby right? So why didn’t he use a a condom, get a vasectomy or just not have sex with a woman? Any man who does other wise is playing Russian Roulette when it comes to getting a woman pregnant. Even the condoms are 100% effective but since the 80’s we know they should be worn yet people are stupid.
Point being that is her fertility and he should only control his. If he does not want a baby ever then get a vasectomy and be done with it. If a woman then says she’s pregnant he knows he’s not the father and can prove it in court.
So now it's "her fertility"? Not his also? We've achieved human cloning?
If it's "hers", let her pay for it - all of it. Florida Man should not be liable for 21 years of support for her choice to keep it.
The argument that he has to pay because he previously made the decision to fornicate, is the same justification for her not to be able to abort a child because she previously made the decision to fornicate.
As for the getting a vasectomy and going to court to prove he's not the father;
1. He may wish to father a child with her at another time, or with another woman.
2. You're wayyyy behind on the information that many jurisdictions can force a man to pay for a child that has been proven not to be his. On a related note, the woman who lied about paternity faces ZERO charges for false statements in court. The State doesn't want her in prison, but instead taking care of the baby, paid for by her victim.
3. Paternity tests are outright illegal in many jurisdictions - because the courts know a whole slew of bastards will become wards of The State.
