Appreciate the ping.

I've been saying this

Many men, and some women, see a very different situation -- one in which women have rights and choices while men have responsibilities and are expected to support any choice a woman makes. "If she wants an abortion, he's supposed to shut down all of his emotional bonding to the child," says Fred Hayward, founder of the Sacramento, Calif., group Men's Rights Inc. "Then, if she changes her mind and decides to have the baby, he's supposed to turn it all back on and be a father."

Hayward's opinion is shared by Ron Henry, a Washington attorney (married with three children) who works pro bono promoting shared parenting by divorced and unmarried parents: The expectation that men will "switch" to support the woman's change of heart, Henry says, is "a fundamental denial of men's humanity, as if they just exist to make the woman happy."

...for years.

It took the recent Pennsylania case to put a spotlight on it. This is something which cannot be buried.

In the end, society will have to decide between Veto For Fathers (the good option) and Choice For Men (the bad option).

They both resolve the same incongruity.

It will be one or the other, never both.

To those cc'd on this post: which would you rather become the law of the land?

People might as well pick sides now.
