It's not a double standard, it's nature. If you don't like the way our biology is take it up with God. The child has to be cared for, period. That is the issue here and that is the purpose of child support. Whether or not you find that fair is completely irrelevant because it's not about you or men versus women, it's about the child. Don't get someone pregnant if you aren't ready to be a father and then you'll never have to deal with this situation. It's really quite a simple concept.
I would agree about the above but then again could we not also say to women who get pregnant and choose to abort don't get pregnant if you are not ready to be a mother and you won't have to deal with abortion or pregnancy?
Duh! But since the woman is the one getting impregnated and it's her body going through the pregnancy the male is far more impacted by her decision than the other way around, so it would be prudent for a guy not to put the baby inside her in the first place if he doesn't want one.
Honest to God, I don't know why you people are having such a difficult time understanding the logic of this. It's not that hard.
Honestly I do get it. My issue is legal aspect of making babies and how the law addresses it. If the law can hold the father or sperm donor liable after birth should he not have as much say before birth? I know what will be said. He body, her choice. Yeah I get that but the created fetus is half his too. Should the baby have rights to be protected by his father in a legal sense from abortion would be my question? If not then can the law allow him to be terminated from the after birth financials since he had no rights before the birth?
Just some thoughts. I know the law does not work as I describe but I wonder why sometimes.
