If it is all about women's choice, why do they come after men for child support?

feminist has to have it both ways...

The man is responsible because he is expected by society to act as a man.....anyone that believes their own father didnt make sacrifices to raise them is living in a dream world

Good point, I agree.
If the guy is does not get to be part of the solution, then he should not be held liable for the outcome.
Also agreed this applies only to single men and women, not married.

The "assumed father because legally married" clause has to go. If you are married and she has someone Else's kid, why should the non-father be held responsible simply because he was married to the unfaithful woman? To many times a guy gets stuck with child support for someone Else's kid because he "assumes" fatherhood. Why not, it's his wife right?

If you consider supporting a child an unfair burden on you or a catch-22, I would suggest you forgo any booty.

Amen to that.

Sometimes they go after woman for child support as well...

You're right it is f'ed...but in my opinion it's messed up because I can't MAKE a woman carry my baby to term. Where are my rights on my 50% of the DNA?

As for men not being liable for support...that's BS. You made that baby. My beef is with me having no ability to affect her decision to keep it. If she wants to keep it and I don't...too bad for me. Time to pay.

fairly smart

Then you have to be able to keep 'it' in your pants till marraige as well. You can't have it both ways. If you help make it, you should have a say in raising or letting it go.
But if you are so absolute, you need to do your half.
Can you do that??

A blank!

That's her choice also you have no rights to your reproductive system you are either father, pay check, husband or have a dead child.

Sweet ain't it.

I believe its both parents choice, but ultimately the choice falls to the mother because the baby is living inside her body...and child support is not fun but if you want your child to live a healthy happy life, you should help out the mother of your child...

Consider it this way. If they made having an abortion ILLEGAL, then even MORE men would have to pony up and pay child support. At least this way the choice exists to NOT have the baby and that saves the man from having to actually be financially responsible. If you don't want to have to support your offspring, then you should be fighting FOR the right to choose, not against it, genius.

Why do people put a price tag on a child and feel they have a right to take that life away from someone who they created before that life has had a chance to live? ABORTION is not about ANYONES RIGHTS except the innocent child's RIGHTS inside waiting to be born.

AND YOU just said it... YOU have 12 kids.. and that means all 12 of them, not just the ones you chose to be the lucky ones with your wife now... Those other kids don't have a choice of whether or not you like their mother... They only have YOU to be able to call their real father!!! Why take your hate out on the results of YOUR OWN mistakes?

it's a woman's choice to decide what to do with that thing growing inside of her because people like you exist who think men don't have a responsibility!!!!

The man gave it up just as much as the woman did, so he should have to help support the child he just made. If you think child support is bad, try carrying a baby inside your stomach for 9 months and then being responsible not just for the monetary support of the child but also other support. The mother (or whoever has custody) has to care for a crying baby, change diapers, care for the baby 24 hours a day. And when the child gets older, she has to fix meals, get them off to school in the morning and provide love and caring. If you think a few bucks out of your paycheck is bad, try raising a child all by yourself, without the father in the home. It is no walk in the park. But, I will tell you, I do not request nor get child support from my son's father. It matters more to me that he is involved in his life and helps take care of him when I need him to. Men need to consider themselves lucky if all they have to do is pay some money each month and quit whining.
Addition: If you have 12 kids you need to learn the definition of the words "birth control" or keep it in your pants.

because it is your child and you should be responsible for it! your should think about who you lay down with because there is a possibility that you may become a parent with this person, men should be more selective!! often times you run out here and get a woman based purely on the physical attraction then you dont want to deal with the reality, so sorry boo boo!

Jacko

man up and quit your whining. Your baby, your responsibility.

ummmm... I think the man has SOMETHING to do with the child being there, therefore it is also his responsibility.

Let's just hope no women let's you even get close to her!
