Reply #48: Society should support the child because [View All]

[Yupster]

that's what good societies do. They support the vulnerable and helpless.

A man should not be forced to support a child that he did not want.

When a man has sex, he is not agreeing to be a father. Same goes for a woman.

The state should have no right to force a man to pay for a child that he didn't want. That's oppression unless you feel that when a man drops his drawers, he is agreeing to be a parent.

If you agree with that thinking, you would also agree with the same thinking for a woman too. If a woman doesn't want to have a baby, well then she had best better keep her knees together.

I don't think so. I believe we are a little more progressive in our thinking about sex today, realizing that the act of having sex is in no way an agreement to be a parent. Or it seems many of us are just that way when it comes to women , not men.
