How do you feel knowing that fathers can be barred from welcoming their child into the world if the mother wishes?

Being present in the room at the moment of delivery? You know I can understand that many fathers would want to be there, but I'd give the final say to the person actually pushing a child out of her body in this case.

Getting to see and meet the child after vitality and stuff like that has been checked by doctors? Both parents should have equal right to being in the presence of their child.

Sooooo, whose advocating that a woman, going through a highly vulnerable state of giving birth, with all the pain and her vagina exposed, should be required to have someone in the room? That's ridiculous

Completely ok with this. I'm 100% pro-fathers rights, but I don't see possible justification to have it any other way. In any hospital/medical situation the patient should have complete control. Are there really MRAs out there who don't get this?

It feels morally improper ' alienation of the father ' but we're talking about estranged people here so it's not a legal issue. This isn't about fathers, this about a man who is no longer with a woman.

How does it feel knowing that girlfriends can be barred from watching your urologist tear into your sack during that vasectomy?

It's almost as if patients have rights that trump your feels.

Is this SRS and r/againstmensrights brigading this sub with idiots and retards, or are you actually all idiots and retards?

So? It's only a recent thing that fathers are in the room - they used to be outside waiting to hear.

Personally, I'm not sure how 'magical' childbirth, the blood, shit, pain, and screaming really is does father even have a place or role during childbirth? surely, the father is just getting in the way? Also, you'd never want to go goal-side anyway

More than one man found that that certain things are very difficult to unsee and a lot of women prefer them not to be there for that very reason.

It's one of those things that is probably too complicated to answer in a thread posted a few hours prior. Honestly, I feel bad for the father, but I also don't think a mother should be forced to have the kid just because the dad wants to.

Nature has made this specific problem more complex by only having the mother bear the child. So only one person is involved in actually making the kid (fuck our laws and everything else for a moment).

I dont have a problem with it.

I would not be opposed to allowing cameras in the delivery room though.
