In reverse I believe if the woman chooses to have such child then without the father's consent she should be ready to provide for such child.  :o

So, this guy has sex with the woman, knowing full well that sex is how babies are made and you're gonna let him off the hook?

If this guy doesn't want to take care of a kid, then he shouldn't have stuck his dick in that woman.  He needs to be held responsible for his actions.  He had sex with her.  That means he took the risk of getting a woman pregnant and therefore having a child. 

Time to be a big boy and take responsibility.

I am sorry I should have made myself clearer blazin, I meant the law they are trying to pass itself not the situation.  I believe that men should have equal rights as women, however I never believed women should have the right to destroy a life in the first place.  ;)
Re: 'Roe v. Wade for Men' Phyxius: “Roe says a woman can choose to have intimacy and still have control over subsequent consequences,” he said. “No one has ever asked a federal court if that means men should have some similar say.”


This is the fundamental question, folks. Personally, I think the scales should be even. If she has the right to opt out, so should he. Anything else is unequal treatment under law.

Maybe if men did have the right to opt out, it would force the current custody/child support racket to evolve into something that more closely resembled sanity...
