- Maybe so, but here's a question for you: Are you sure it is your child?
- You can never be sure, although the woman at least has a definite idea
- of the odds.
-
- And here's another point: Why do you wish to force someone against their
- will to fully and solely support another living entity for nine months?
- Your *support* means nothing compared to what the woman will suffer.
- Maybe that's why this has been delegated as a woman's decision, and
- only a woman's decision.
-
- I also believe that you're attempting to perpetuate a myth, that men
- have no choice. Men have always walked away from relationships when
- children are involved in the past, and I don't really see them getting
- dragged back in any significant numbers to be held accountable for children
- they've spawned, except in cases where there was some sort of promise
- made, either explicit or implicit. So let's lay that to rest, shall
- we? Men have always had a choice, whether legally granted or not, and
- now men like you wish to take a similar choice away from women, after
- they recently won that right back.
