Same problem as with all of these petitions. TYPOS! No one takes you seriously if you make typos like this.

Woman enjoy many choices regarding reproduction, namely birth control pills, and abortion. When abortion is not allowed or unwanted, woman still have the choice of being able to give the child up for adoption.

Fucking second sentence, and third. It's WOMEN! Woman is singular.

I'd be all for this if it was clear about the father deciding at the time of pregnancy or first knowledge. As it stands the petition is all-encompassing. I'm not so cool with the idea of someone playing Dad until they get bored or decide to walk out one day for whatever reason.

This issue has been brought up several times over the years. It will never happen..

Vasectomy is the probably the only way out of child support

It's too bad he felt the need to add that part about preemptive custody arrangements. I can't sign that. While a rebuttal presumption of shared custody is an obvious goal for the father's rights movement, only a moron wants to sign a contract dictating how custody will be handled in the event of a specific breakup. What if you break up because the other parent becomes abusive or gets addicted to drugs or gets into a new relationship with a dangerous person? Children are not property. Their custody arrangements must reflect their best interests, which cannot be determined years before their parents decide to separate.

Do women have this right?

This idea, and the ones like it, are by far the worst ideas I ever see on this subreddit. This is definitely a case of sour grapes. Feminism made it so women don't have responsbilities? Men need some of that irresponsibility too! That way, we can all be equally on the road to societal collapse.

This is not the dumbest idea I've ever heard ... but it's pretty darned close.

No Mother can "give up" her rights to child support. They aren't her rights to give up. They are the child's.

This still doesn't represent fairness. A kid is brought into the world and the best offer for the father is not have to pay for someone else's decision, but they only get that right by giving up their natural rights as a parent. In addition they have no reproductive control. They still have a kid, but now they have no rights with respect to the kid.

My solution is that unless both parents agree to have the kid the kid goes into adoption automatically so neither parent has to pay for it, worry about it, have any rights about it or know anything about it. Both parents have identical rights and identical responsibilities, or as close as can be.
