- On that basis (special rights based on sex) then the father should not
- EVER be held responsible for anything that occurs after coitus ends.

- utterly and solely responsible for it. After all, why should a
- man be held responsible for the products of a womans body? Would
- you think it fair to hold the man responsible for a womans blood?
