Which is precisely why you shouldn't put your sperm in a place you don't trust 100%. The problem is that men want to have sex and then have the option to stay, have an abortion, give up a baby for adoption, or be a parent. It doesn't work that way. Most of the time, the ultimate choice of what will happen rests with the woman. Until the time that men can carry a baby for 10 months, that's how it's going to be. DEAL WITH IT.
I must have missed the memo, since when is it ten months now?
If it's half his, he should be able to force the woman to carry it to term so he can adopt, it he chooses. It's one or the other sweetie, can't have it both ways without being a hypocrite.
And how is the father "opting out" of financial responsibility fair to the child? To tax payers? Do you not realize the women who you are so offended by because they receive state aid to help out with raising their kids is specifically because the fathers of those kids did in fact "opt out" i.e. they do not pay child support?
Jesus H Christ on a moped, get a clue.
And the men go to jail because of it.
Think about it:
The woman gets taxpayer money to raise her baby that the dad never wanted.
If some type of law was put in place to make things fair, maybe more women would get an abortion when they realized they would be solely responsible for paying for the baby.
If it's half his, he should be able to force the woman to carry it to term so he can adopt, it he chooses. It's one or the other sweetie, can't have it both ways without being a hypocrite.
forcing a woman to have a baby would amount to slavery which is illegal. supporting your child is not
If a female doesn't want the responsibility/financial stress that goes along with parenthood, she can get an abortion and never look back. Even if the male wants to keep the baby, the female has the power to get an abortion.
So why do the males get no say? If a female can just walk away from the responsibility if she doesn't want a baby, a male should be able to do the same thing.
If the female wants to keep the baby but the male doesn't, the male gets stuck paying child support.
In both examples, one parent wants to keep the baby. So why does the male get stuck paying for a baby he doesn't want?
Of course the male can't get an abortion. But I don't think the male should need to pay child support for a baby he doesn't want.
Sure, you might be thinking "The male helped create the baby. If the female wants to keep it, the male should pay"
But it takes two to tango. Both parents played an equal role in creating the baby. So if the male can't force the female to pay, why should the female be able to force the male to pay?
By the way, I am pro-choice. I support abortion and I don't see anything wrong with a female getting an abortion if she doesn't want to pay for a baby. But if a male doesn't want to pay for a baby, he shouldn't need to either.
Because your just a sperm donor and nothing else. According to the enlightened progressive.
Let me add also that if you play you need to pay. I find both your position and that of pro-choicers on this subject similar to that of a two year old child that has never been taught responsibility for ones actions.

I thought a pregnancy was 9 months long? Isn't 9 months 36 weeks?
Well, it is 9 months, but the average month is 4.3 weeks long, not 4.
- (52 weeks / 12 months = 4.333 weeks per month.)
- 4.333 weeks x 9 months = 38.99 weeks
So 9 months is just about the average of the 38 and 40 week numbers.
pregnancy is 40 weeks, 40 weeks is equal to 10 months.
hmmm
somebody's monthmath is off...
