I am talking about late pregenecy and then healing time. You think women should work until their water breaks, pop out a bady and go to work the next day? I asked you to come up with a fairer law. This law seems to be trying to be fair as possible since women have to carry the birth. If men were told they can absolve themselves of responsibility what would stop them other then their own personal morals. Basicily you are advocating sexual intercourse to only be risky to women and not men when it comes to pregnency. Already women have more fear of pregency then men. All you have is finiancial resposibility and nothing else, women have more then that. |
How am I advocating that at all? I have not said anywhere that women should not have the opportunities that they currently have? Women should maintain the ability to abort, maintain the ability to give the child up for adoption, and maintain safe haven laws.
@bolded, what you seem to be failing to understand is that under the current setup, women have choices in the matter, which they should do, but men don't. A moral and decent man will maintain the financial responsibility, but so long as a woman has the ability to absolve, so should the man.
Like I said, right now, I have a family member who's been point blank blocked from seeing the child, but is also being forced to pay for the kid. He'd pay anyway, but the point is the woman is able to use the kid as a weapon to get what she wants - emotionally, and financially. This is only possible because of the way the law is currently set up? You think that's fairer than giving the father the ability to absolve? It's sick, it's destroying my relative emotionally, and there is NOTHING that can be done about it. At least if the mother couldn't force him to pay, he'd at least have a bargaining chip in order to see his kid again.
