When women have 100% the choice about whether they get or stay pregnant, they don't get to claim any right to the father's money.
Their body, their choice.
They choose poorly, to Hell with them!
Enshrined in law is:
Both parents don't want a kid, kid can be aborted or given up for adoption.
Both parents want a kid, no problem, they get down to the job of being parents.
Mom doesn't want a kid, Dad does. Mom can get an abortion or give the kid up for adoption without any recourse for Dad.
Dad doesn't want a kid, Mom does. Mom carries to term and gets The State to take money away from him. Again, Dad has little to no recourse if his genes match the kid's.
Since Mom gets to make the decision about having a kid, I don't see how any father is responsible unless he volunteers for the job.
No rights = No responsibilities.
Worse, Mom can completely eliminate Dad from the raising of the children while simultaneously demanding child support. He gets no visitation, no say in how they are raised or educated. He's just financially responsible.
So, girls, if you want men to assume duties, you have to give them rights.
It should be our bodies, our choices.
And, although it's a staid position, maybe consider aspirin held between the knees for birth control until you're in a loving, lasting relationship where the kids will have two parents who agree on it.
PS: Before you comment, this is not the place to have a debate about the morality of abortion. If you try, your comment gets deleted and I will call you a mouthbreathing Walz.
"Dad has little to no recourse if his genes match the kid's."
ReplyDeleteThat's not even a requirement. Men have been made to provide support for children who have been verified as not theirs.
True. But some guys have escaped by proving, "not my kid!" making it the little recourse portion of "little to none."
DeleteMake it equal across the whole board.
ReplyDeleteMan wants baby and woman does not and aborts it? Murder. After all, if the guy doesn't want it and punches or kicks the woman to cause a miscarriage, that's considered murder.
Make her keep the baby to birth and hand it over to the guy if he wants it.
If grandparents can sue for visitation rights no matter how the parents feel, then why not give the grandparents rights to have the baby not aborted?
And go from there.
Charge women for domestic battery if they domestically batter. Same penalties as men get.
And back to children, force women to pay child support if the man has custody and enforce the same penalties as men for nonpayment (I have a male friend who got custody of his kids and the psycho ex-wife gets half his pension and is supposed to pay child support but hasn't paid one dime. And the state refuses to force payment. If it was reversed, the guy would be in jail and his portion of the pension would be garnished to pay back and current support.)
And continue. Woman does the same crime as men, no more cutting the women any slack. Same exact bail, parole, charges, punishments, jail and prison time, capital punishment, probation, the whole works.
I agree. There needs to be a two way street on this like other things. While divorce laws are getting better in many states, they are still tilted towards women. A large part of men refusing to get married these days is this uneven yoking, to borrow a Bible phrase.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently going through a divorce that is getting messy - the only reason it may go ok for me is that she did some really stupid almost illegal things when she left.
In many states, if a women gets pregnant when married, her husband is required to support the child, even if it can be proven to not be his.
I once knew a guy who only messed with married women for this reason.

This principal goes back to the founding of this country. No taxation without representation.

This is why the catholic teaching of... only married people shall have sex... is so timelessly valuable, and logical. No "marital acts" for those that are not serious about rearing the fruits of their labors.
ReplyDeleteYes, most of us fall short of that ideal.
