Daddy Nobucks: When Involuntary Fathers Are Forced to Foot The Bill
so, what gets me after reading much, commenting and reading some more, is how the options seem extreme one way or the other. Is it SO very hard to go back to the moment of the deed, and take equal responsibility?
Some keep repeating “If he has does the deed, he has to pay!”
OK. I’ll take that.
Why doesn’t she, then?
From that moment everything should be halvsies. Support, visitation, AND/OR the abortion question. Period.
She did the deed TOO. It takes two to tango TOO.
It takes TWO to tango
so the responsibility for the child should be divided EQUALLY.
This only makes sense. It’s not fair if you get to pick and chose what things you want.
Sure the guy can take off, and the chica can have the abort without telling. These are people who wouldn’t follow the law in any case. the people who ARE impacted are those that stay to do the right thing for the kid.
It would never be perfect, because the physical truth is that we are NOT equal in terms of carrying the child before birth. But before the eyes of the law we are supposed to be equal, otherwise we call that discrimination.
I am not advocating a return to the dark ages here, that is the most foolish argument I’ve heard. Why should I pay the sins of my grandfather’s generations, or long before?
Why not make it fair moving ahead?
or are the femmes afraid of making it fair? Think on it this way: guys who will take off… already do. Guys who stay… already stay. Same with the women. Why not make it so that those who seek to do right are not punished for doing so? BOTH women AND men.
