Duality Duel
There is validity to the OP's line of thought. It just goes against your beliefs and ideology when it comes to this topic.
The argument is not, and to my knowledge from reading this thread, never a financial argument. The issue solely lies in "choice" and who has the power of choice.
I don't think anybody would even attempt to compare the payments of child support to the actual duties of raising a child 24/7.
I think everybody is in agreement with you on these points, but I feel like we're digressing from the argument when we bring these things up.
The primary argument is that he decided to have sex unprotected and so he has given her 100% decision making ability when she becomes pregnant. It would be a different pretense if it went as follows
1) If man gets girl pregnant, she is going to have the baby
2) man gets girl pregnant
3) therefore she is going to have the baby
But that's not what the OP is trying to state. The OP is saying
1) If man gets girl pregnant, girl has 100% decision on whether to keep or abort
2) man gets girl pregnant
3) therefore girl has 100% decision on whether to keep or abort.
It's all about choice, and as I mentioned earlier, certain arguments fall apart if the women decides to have an abortion when the man knew the risks, got the girl pregnant and actually wanted to have the baby.
Something to think about.
There isn't much to think about outside of common sense.
You can paint as many scenarios you deem fit, it doesn't negate the fact that as man/woman whenever you have sex there's a possibility of creating life.
You can't argue about "choice" after the fact, especially if society shows you time and time again it's not in your hands to choose.
Men set themselves up for failure and want everyone to attend their pity party







That's fukked up. Since we can't tell people what to do with their bodies, men should have the option to give up their parental rights. What better
Logistically, I think there should be mandatory paternity tests upon birth & if a man chooses to sign the BC, its his responsibility from that point forward. Logically, there's nothing unfair about this. People just think a man running out on a kid he didn't want is wrong. It's his choice. How is that any worse than a woman vacuuming a man's child into a petri dish because she didn't want it?
Atleast the kid gets the chance to live in his version 




it's your child too. Do you not get that? Regardless if you knock up a model or a nasty hood booger it's still your child.
