This man is my new hero. My third child was murdered because my ex-wife decided she didn’t want to be bothered having it. I had no say whatsoever.

If women have an absolute and unilateral right to decide the fate of the unborn child (abort, adopt out, or keep), then men should have a right to decide whether to support the child.

this I AGREE with.....responsibilty goes two ways....maybe if some women knew they would have to raise Junior by themselves, they wouldn't be so quick to jump into bed with just anybody....

only if they give up their parental rights before the child is born or if DNA tests afterwards show the child is not the ‘father’s’

I knew a guy once that this happened to. They ended up in a divorce because of it. Her whole thing was it was her body and she didn’t want to be pregnant, and if he wanted a baby so bad, find a woman who did. She also didn’t think an abortion wrong because, until the child is breathing on it’s own, breathing air, it’s not a child. (typical lib thinking). The news devastated him. Ever since he was young, he always wanted to be a dad. He would have been a great dad. Sadly, he was killed in a car crash before fulfilling his dream. Very sad story.

I’d like to see something like this in place but, sadly, I don’t think it will ever happen.

While we’re on this subject, can someone tell me why a man who kills a pregnant woman and her fetus can be charged with double homicide but an abortion doctor or a woman who kills her own fetus cannot be charged with murder? I don’t understand.

I agree with this. Let the father opt out of support. But I could not agree with essentially giving the father ultimate say over the woman's body.

The father can keep his swimmers to himself if he's really that worried.
