Should men be forced to pay child support if they let the woman know in advance that they don’t want the child?

[Houston911]

Up until the day before yesterday, if a woman decided (for whatever reason) that she wasn’t ready to bring a child into the world, then she was allowed to hit the restart button.

If a man made a poor choice and got a woman pregnant, he has to pay child support for 18 years even if he lets the woman know that he’s not ready to bring a child into the world and he doesn’t want her to have the baby

Can a LOGICAL and NON EMOTIONAL person who is upset about roe v wade being overturned please explain how one is ok and the other is not? Let’s not focus on the outliers(rape/incest/medical issues) - we are trying to keep it logical.

I’m pro choice, I’m just confused why the only person with a choice AFTER the mistake has been made is the woman

Because the woman is the one that has to risk her life in order to give birth to that baby. A man's life is not at risk during a pregnancy.

What does this have to do with the question?

The question is “should he be forced to pay child support if he lets her know in advance”, not “should she have to abort if he doesn’t want the kid”

Of course they should as if they wouldn’t be in the situation in the first place if they took personal responsibility and used contraceptions from the beginning. Actions have consequences and that goes for both parties involved and not just the man.

When it comes down to it, she's what's best for her when it's all said and done and you should do the same as well. Make the call on your own instead of expecting someone else to do what's best for you.

 

[Black Mamba]

Absolutely.

 

[Doobie Doo]

Legally it wont work beccause its in regards to what's best for the child and technically the man nor woman can't waive their child's rights for them

 

[Da_Eggman]

Yep is what it is

The government doesnt want to foot the bill, thats why the double standard exists. Hell they force nikkas who find out they aint the father to pay.

But in a fair world i agree that if a woman can kill it an man should be able to abandon it(word to chappelle)

Then why should women be allowed to abort outside of rape/incest/medical reasons (which are extreme outliers)?

The overwhelming majority of abortions are caused by people not wanting to take responsibility for not using contraceptives

I should I quoted your last sentence, I was responding specifically to this.

To answer should men pay for child support, even if they let the woman know in advance. I would say yes, because most people know the possible consequences of sex, it sucks, but that child is going to need support, and unfortuantly they're that child's father.

It’s a wack double standard. The even worse one is when the man wants the child and the woman doesn’t and aborts. nikkas get screwed on both ends to keep it funky.

 

[the bossman]

It's always a risk when you play the game. Once the kid is here, it's all about what's best for them regardless if you wanted them or not.

Ask the people who created the law in the first place that question rather than us having to interpret and explain the decision for them.

Sound like you are in favor of the new ruling?

A woman could give her kid up for adoption and slate wiped clean. A woman can terminate the pregnancy and slate wiped clean. Bottom line is women have a way out. Men don’t.
