"Once again, let me repeat myself. If you are not willing to accept ALL the responsibilities of potential parenthood, you should not be having sex."

if a woman has sex she should accept, in your words and with your emphasis "ALL the responsibilities".

that includes paying ALL the costs of a child she chooses to keep.

i think i have been on this board long enough that my feminist attitude is obvious. but there is something drasticly unfair in the current situation. it is sexist in that it gives total control of the man's future to the woman. he may be a complelled to father, at least financially, even if he does not wish to.

this is fundamentally unfair. if a man cannot compell a woman to bear his children, (and we all agree that that's a basic tenant) than i man should not be compelled to support a child which is born against his will.
