women make 70 cents on the dollar kiddono they don't
you got him there. in the US it's actually 77 cents. this changes everything
indeed, the flat figure is 77 cents, not 70, which is a fairly large difference, wouldn't you say? more to the point, the figure adjusted for factors such as hours worked, education, and danger wage premium brings the total to 93 cents.

Is this what you want cyclone? And can you not see how
1. fucking ice-hearted this is
2. makes you a terrible human being in any culture on the entire planet
I don't give a flying shit how much sense it makes legally, it's an ethical line that you are clearly on the cold side of.
i'm sorry but i'm failing to grasp how "i do not want this fetus to be born and subject me to the legal requirement of loss of 20% of my gross income for the next two decades, therefore i waive any rights and responsibilities" is in any way more 'ice-hearted' than "i do not want this fetus to be born and subject me to between one and five months of moderate disability, therefore please suck it out like a turd caught in a pool filter"

also i am fairly certain that most cultures have a generally more favorable view of wayward fatherhood than they do of infanticide, although of course both have been regularly practiced in virtually all cultures and this has no particular bearing on a modern person's decision as to the morality of either decision
wrong
3. In the justice system, men are usually given harsher sentences than women for the same crimes. This is in addition to and related to the fact that the prison population is over 90% male.

I'm sorry that you live in a backwards society where women in a lot of states have the right to their own bodies. That right goes both ways - whether they want to have a baby or not. It's terrible that men have to be responsible for giving away 20% of their earned income if the woman decides to have the baby. The woman really does have the categorical imperative to bootstrap-it all alone if that is the man's wish, because of his right to financial independence. The baby, should understand his/her father's ethical decision when he/she grows older and wiser.
please don't use the word "father" to refer to the man in these circumstances, it undermines all valuable conceptions of family in favor of biological essentialism. thanks in advance.

It really is rather unjust that men are legally responsible for the consequences of accidental pregnancies and women are not, even when the material consequences are substantially greater in the former case. Simply restating a position in a snide tone of voice does not actually constitute an argument against it.

if the woman is worried about dying, then she can get an abortion. the non-consensual male genetic contributor to the fetus has no such recourse.
ignorance, even if it is the tragic consequence of a bizarre homeschooled childhood experience, is no excuse

i don't wanna come down on the side of "men should be able to divorce their children" but anti-abortion people use this same argument and i. don't. like. it. one. bit.

hey cyclone you know that legally and morally child support payments go to the child not the mother, right? i know we'd both love it if there was enough societal support to make childraising something other than a huge financial burden but there isn't and it's better that "the father" pick up the slack than "no one"
well maybe we should get started on that too.
