I have a perfect solution for men, and really the only one in which they can take back their reproductive rights:
Freeze their sperm and have a vasectomy.
In this crazy world we live in, a woman can cheat on her husband, have her lover’s child, and the husband can and most likely will be forced to pay child support to her (or her lover!) until the child emancipates!
The solution is to plan your marriage, not just your wedding. Have the difficult dicussions prior to getting married. Ensure that you have similar financial beliefs and long term goals. While Religion plays a big part in a lot of people’s lives, often they stop the discussion there and forget that we are not just our Religion! Couples also have personality quirks that must be compatible.
So while it is important for society to recognize that we have enslaved men as a gender, men only have one option left. If women have to ask permission in order to reproduce, not only will paternity fraud decrease to nearly nil, but those on the hook by default will have a Constitutional right to get off the hook. The only excuse prior to the drafting of the constitution for a husband to not be named the father was if he was out of the country, sterile, or impotent. This exception to the presumption of paternity was forever preserved in the Constitution by clearly stating that any law passed contrary to the Constitution or the Common Law was void.
Aside from the obvious Constitutional violations of Equal Protection when it comes to a woman’s right to decide whether or not to become a parent (both during pregnancy and after), the only way to make a big enough statement for the powers that be to take the issue seriously is for men to take their futures into their own hands.
