| 1 | Paternity test proves man is not the father of twins. Judge makes him keep paying child support anyway.You are not compelled to labor to pay taxes. You can choose to live as an ascetic or bum, or take a vow of poverty. You can face jail for not making child support payments, no matter how unjust those payment demands are. You can be required to pay based on what a judge thinks you could be earning, rather than what you are. | /r/MensRights | 09/10/13 06:32 PM |

Basically, your position (and that of many MRAs) is that the woman must be "responsible" for her decision to have a child if she wants it and the man doesn't. More precisely: her decision cannot compel a man to be financially obligated to support that decision.

| 4 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…2 and #3 discounts the value of the parents and the damage that can be done by removal. It also is disproportionate on less well off people. The better option would be some form of short term or long term support. I should hope it's obvious that I'm not actually advocating for these things.

Really? It would be a legal system consistent with the assertion that the "child's best interests" are the motivation, not punishing sexual activity or imposing social-conservative morality.

| 7 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…I find it abhorrent that it can be a unilateral decision (both to abort or to keep a child). Neither the State nor the father have the right to compel a woman to remain pregnant against her will. It's her body. That is, and should be, an absolute. The problem here is that men can be forced to labor against their will to support a child they never agreed to parent, which is just as much a violation of their bodily rights. | /r/MensRights | 28/03/11 09:56 PM |

If an wealthy couple spots an attractive child belonging to an impoverished couple, can they legally require the child be handed over to them for adoption, because (by objective social metrics) they will provide the child with a much better upbringing and are more able to satisfy the child's "right to prosper", as you put it?

| 4 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…You're asking for equality of outcome (the ability to end the parental relationship) rather than an equality of right (privacy and autonomy over ones body). The fact that the same right leads to two different outcomes between the genders is happenstance. Your reasoning is faulty. Once the child is born, it exists independently and the gender of the parents is irrelevant. The mother has the first option during pregnancy to abort the process, and will face no future obligations to the prospective … | /r/MensRights | 28/03/11 09:36 PM |
| 11 | A young man’s right to choose NOT to be a father…Because the obligation is to the child not the mother. This is a rationalization used to justify the status quo. If society were really concerned about the "well-being of the child(ren)", then: There would be a baseline income established as mandatory to support a child. Any couple that has lower than that income would have the child forcibly removed and placed with a wealthier adoptive person/couple.

Rape is generally considered only second to murder in its heinousness.

So the well-being of the child is irrelevant then? Or in this case, the woman must accept the financial consequences. Casual sex is not implicit consent to parenthood.

Having contributed sperm to a pregnancy, does not mean that one should be compelled to support the resulting child. For the woman, becoming a parent is a wilful, optional decision: she can abort or adopt.

| 3 | Proposed bill in Ohio would require consent of the father for an abortionA woman's right to control her body is inviolate, regardless of whether she consented to sex or not. If she cannot choose to cease to be pregnant, then she has become chattel: a slave to her womb. Yes, as a guy, it could be disappointing or even devastating to lose the prospective child one is anticipating. But no child's birth should be dependent on forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy to term against her will. | /r/MensRights | 21/07/09 06:52 PM |
