355. No I am NOT dodging the issue and am NOT a sexist..a SEXIST would
think THEY should have a say in what another person does with their body. A SEXIST would deliberately COLLAPSE the issues of habeas corpus and CHILD support as though one has ANYTHING to do with the other. A SEXIST would charge that the mother should sign away the child's rights.

What YOU are complaining of is an act of GOD or NATURE depending on one's perspective.

Child support has as MUCH to do with ABORTION and men having a say in abortion as it does with VISITATION RIGHTS (I am assuming you realize that visitation rights and child support are also separate and distinct issues, which is why many men get to see their children even if their checks never make it there)

I have DODGED no issues.

Your complaint is that the woman, if she chooses to have the baby can cause a man a financial obligation. Too bad. The man knew that too...the assumption of risk already took place. Nothing sexist about it...the law errs in child support matters on the side of the child not EITHER parent. In matters concerning the health and livelihood of the mother (when it somces to abortion) the law should err on the side of the person assuming the greatest physical risk. Until you and all the men FALSELY muddling the issues can make a man conceive and carry, that TOO continues to be the woman.

The DELIBERATE COLLAPSE of child support and having a say in whether a woman carries a conception full term is a SEXIST PLOY to make MEN APPEAR to be the victims when historically THEY ARE NOT.
