Shouldn't she also be required to carry said baby to term? Not fair if he wants the baby and she decides to get an abortion.
At a minimun, she should be required to get the father's permission, in writing, if she wants an abortion or wants to put the baby up for adoption. Either the baby is 50-50 or all bets are off.

Nice post, #16.
I have advocated the prison term for lies about rape myself. Excellent to see someone else has an understanding of Justice.

Just say no, Men.My, my, you are naive. Men haven't said no since Eve gave the apple to Adam and you'll never change it.

This wouldn't work. Two people cannot conspire to take away the rights of a third (the newborn). The child is entitled to financial support.
IMO, it should be the biological father and mother unless other arrangements are sanctioned by a judge (ie, adoption, foster parents, etc.).
To: Gunrunner2
I see you miss the point altogether.
A child you raise is not a pair of shoes.
It's not something to return if you find out you've got the wrong one by mistake.
I think you get it and actually are getting the point.

Have any of you read this little piece of info?

Why not make it the man's responsibility to have her sign the paper.Because the law assigns custody rights to the woman. Rights and responsibilities should go together.

"In my state, if a child is born to a legally married man and woman, the child is legally theirs"
So to be fair, if I'm married and have an fling with some other women, the offspring should be the responsibility of my wife? It should be legally hers because she is married to me?

Oh man, you better hope you have your Nomex coveralls on, 'cause you could get flamed big time for a comment like that (although I'm in full agreement with you!). Whatever you do,
don't mention prenutual agreements...you'll be skinned alive!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

If a man wants the right to enjoy obligation-free fornication, it should be his responsibility to have the paper signed. Get it? Right... responsibility...
(Actually, it makes no difference. Either of the two fornicators pulling out a legal document to be signed would put an end to an awful lot of fornicating. Nothing like a little cold, hard reality for putting an end to the mood.)
To: robertpaulsen
Two people cannot conspire to take away the rights of a third (the newborn).That's true. I guess it comes down to DNA testing if there is any question of who the father might be. If the mother is sleeping around, she's likely to choose the one with the highest salary instead of the one she knows is the father, if she's sleeping around a lot, she really may have no clue.

If not, that is a perfect illustration of the distinction between a "moral" law and a "Legal" one.
We've collectively been run over by lots of immoral laws and people are getting really pissed!
To: babygene

I heard his wife took the 1/4 loss of his income hard ---but not so hard because the wife stayed with the cheater.

This man has every right to be outraged. The fair thing to do is to make the mother and biological father reimburse him with interest for his financial support.

Talk about leaping to conclusions.... Tallhappy sounds curiosly Christian to me-- unlike you, babygene.
To: FITZ
Yes, but if she had divorced him (as in this case), she wouldn't have been held responsible...

Why would you say that? I didn't leap to a conclusion, I said I suspect...

"The women of America applaud your point of view and fervently hope that you have actually put it into practice in your own life."
The view of women of America seems to be that if a woman has a baby, then she is ENTITLED to economic support. And she doesn't care who gets the bill, the real father, Society via welfare, or some poor guy she can dupe into believing that it's HIS. She had a baby, and by God, somebody has to pay!
To: babygene
So to be fair, if I'm married and have an fling with some other women, the offspring should be the responsibility of my wife? To be fair, this scenario has been the most common by far, until women's liberation freed women to behave as sexually immoral as men. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it pinches a bit, eh?
