Should pregnant woman have complete control over child's fate?
|
Is it right to let a woman who entered a relationship with the intent to get pregnant and share a life with the father, suddenly change her mind and have complete control over the lives that surround this child?
Your thoughts please. Additional Details C Wood: I do have a personal agenda I'm trying to understand why this happens. I understand that there are different scenarios that cause different reactions. I want to know if hormones play a part? Does the thought of her having to paychild support fuel this and if it does isn't that an interesting twist. I sincerely don't get how you can turn on someone and use a child to do it. There have been some suggestions here that helped. If you're still leary that's okay. I personally get furious with women who just rip a kid away from their fathers before they're born because they suddenly feel different. Were there no signs before hand? I have seen many men turn around completely when they have a child. I want to know if some of these women aren't being a little too harsh a little too soon. Just cause your relationship failed, doesn't mean their relationship has to. I am quick to judge I admit it.

Because we live with an archaic court system that views all fathers as "dead-beat dads".
What I find sad is that good fathers have to bend over backwards to prove any abuse or neglect (or even fight to be the father to his child) but all a woman has to do is pick up a phone and claim that he beat her or claim the father is unknown. |

Hi Lori,
I believe the father has the same rights as the mother. Sorry, i can't elaborate cause i feel its straight forward. Both parents have the same rights to the child. |

No. Two people made that baby, they should both have say from the time of conception on...unless one is unfit of course. |

I think you have a personal agenda, and until I know it, I'm not comfortable with your questions.

I believe that both the mother and father should have say so in the childs life - However I do not know the reason that her mind might have changed - maybe some of his attibutes have been exciting when you are dating and he is thrilling as a boyfriend may not be such a good canidate as a father and maybe he is showing a side to his charater that is more risky to be around - but unless there is abuse of any kind - or drug issues - he does have some kind of say so - I am sorry if that is not what you want to hear. |
