[George W. Bush]

A self pitying male who wants to check out of a child's life needs a stern reminder that the behavior is not approved.

Are you Hillary Xlinton's ghost writer or something? This is the exacctly the kind of rhetoric routinely spouted by Marian Wright Edelman and other leftwing family law radicals.

I notice that you've now brought up this "self-pitying male" business at least a half-dozen different times. You have something very specific in mind here. You have some personal ax you're grinding. Maybe your current girlfriend left some guy on the hook for a baby? Maybe your sister did? You have some stake in justifying victimizing men who have been victimized by slut ex-wives and the family courts already.

You are posting to a never married, childless, lawyer that has made the thread about himself, and he is throwing around the personal attacks to keep the juices flowing.

When he takes over one of these threads, all you can do is ignore him, or just drop the thread, because his passive aggressive nature is in it’s element and you are only feeding his uglier side.

No political party owns this, I am sorry to tell you.  Pro lifers consistently use related rhetoric, for example.

No, not at all.  I don't date single -or divorced -  moms. 

Maybe your sister did?

Nope, sis is happily married with two children.

Not at all.  This is one case where I think the best interest of the child outweighs the best interest of  the adult male, that's all.  Nothing in my personal history directly related to this dynamic, sorry.

If there was, I'd say so and use it to bolster my argument.  I just think it's right.
