We men already have that option. It's called "not banging her in the first place". Works every time it's tried, and you don't need to go through a court battle to do it.

"There's such a spectrum of choice that women have -- it's her body, her pregnancy and she has the ultimate right to make decisions," said Mel Feit, director of the men's center. "I'm trying to find a way for a man also to have some say over decisions that affect his life profoundly."

Silence, slave, or you will be flogged for your disobedience.

If men need more control over this issue then my suggestion to all of them so that they won't be the big financial losers in this one - keep your zipper up or stay home alone!

"Unintended pregnancy"??

I threw a rock into the air... I did not intend it to break a window and therefore, I should not have to pay to fix the window.

"Feit doesn't advocate an unlimited fatherhood opt-out; he proposes a brief period in which a man, after learning of an unintended pregnancy, could decline parental responsibilities if the relationship was one in which neither partner had desired a child."

He got this from Joey Tribbiani, right?
Not QUITE up to Joey's best thinking, but it's real
close.

Men always have an opportunity to avoid fatherhood. it's called a zipper, and if they keep it closed it's 100% effective.

I agree with the intent of this action: to shed some light on the inequities of the existing situation. The thing that makes me crazy are rulings in several cases I've read about involving men paying child support and then discovering, through DNA testing, that the children are not theirs and the courts ruling that the payments must continue until the child reaches 18.

Talk about getting screwed twice by the same woman...once with consent and then once by the courts without even a kiss!

Yup, the know-nothings will howl about men keeping their pants on, but this issue is popping up with a frequency that indicates a trend.

They sat still for mothers killing unborn. They'll sit still for legalized bastardy.

You tell me why men should have some kind of right after the act has been accomplished?

I understand the 'Keep your Zipper up" crap...I just don't think it's realistic. BTW, wouldn;t a "Pill for Men" be useful in establishing male reproductive rights?

Really, Ms. Gandy? What about the right of the child to EXIST? A right your organization does not recognize, even in those cases when the child is in the process of being born.

Liberals are such socially destructive little weasels. Only a string of expletives would adequately describe the depth of my disdain for them.

This was posted yesterday and it was reassuring to see that most of us FR men are real men willing to do what is right.

Sadly, there were a few who agreed with this lawsuit but only a few.

Hey

Equal = Equal

The baby is 1/2 the male's. Both are equally responsible for the pregnancy. Each should have an equal say if it will be aborted or not. She has to endure the 9 mos and the delivery and he has to pay for 18+ years.

Right now he has no say at all.

I agree with the men in this lawsuit. I think the current situation places unfair decisionmaking authority in the woman once a child is conceived. She not only has unilateral life or death power over the child, she has unilateral power to decide whether the man will have to support the child.

If a man wants the child and is willing to raise it on his own, the woman can say "Tough," and kill it.

If the man doesn't want the child, the woman can say "Tough. You're going to support it anyway."

I don't think there's any question that the current situation is unfair to the children and to the men.
