How absurd. Do men have no control over their OWN bodies? This is just sexism in reverse.

I'm not sure what I'd call it, but

when one side invests several minutes pleasure vs. the other side's 9 month pregnancy plus life-risking child birth, and

one side invests a monthly support payment vs. the other side's 24X7 care giving, I'd say one side has more invested that the other.

The greater the investment, the greater the say.

Now that all depends on the burden of the monthly support payment vs. the quality of the supposed 24x7 care doesn't it? In practice, the support payment is absolutely nothing but a supplemental income for the mother to do with as she sees fit.

24/7? If only that were true, these women wouldn't have the time (or the inclination) to go back out partying and having a second, third, and fourth child.

I say give the monthly support payment directly to the grandmother. She's the one raising the child.

So let's say we have a biological father who wants the legal right to veto the abortion of his prenatal child, and is willing to take care of all the bills in perpetuity and raise the kid 24 and 7?

Then what?

Still kill?
