[DNA.2012]

A father who wants to raise his own child and is willing to have full custody should be allowed to prevent the adoption of his child - regardless of his marital status - unless he is proven unfit to parent.

He should not have to buy a right to parent via payments to his child's mother as listed in this anti-father legislation.

Keep it zipped up until after you are married and a guy has no fear for this law.

But in general, it is yet another attack on men.

I don’t think it will be long before enraged fathers go to hunt down fully law-compliant women and/or Professor Beck with fire arms and/or chain saws.

[CatoRenasci]

A biological father who is not willing to make a child legitimate should have no rights whatsoever with respect to the child, unless the mother refuses to marry him. Whatever happened to taking responsibility? Whatever happened to shotguns?

If all the men in the legislature vote against this measure, that will be the end of it.

That law is wrong and unjust.

There may come a day when the sperm donor and child reunite in an attempt to forge a relationship.

This law would place a wall to high to surmount and the child would be programmed with whatever narrative the mother supplied, which would be disastrous.

Who knows the vile and vindictive crap mother pull and their Holy Wars to exact satisfaction, despite the very real damage they doin to their child.

Oh and I’m adopted, knew my real father my entire life and all my relatives on his side. In fact, I was the #1 pallbearer at my grandmother’s funeral.

I don’t talk to him but that’s a personal choice and I don’t like nasty drunks. Funny, apparently my brothers and sister feel the same.

Still, he made the decision to relinquish my birth name and it all worked out.

I have a great dad, who I would never dishonor by using the term step dad.

He is a great man who I have always looked up to and reflect upon when I make important decisions.

Despite what the law allows, any adoptive parent who doesn’t want to have their heart ripped out at some point would be wise to get a release from both the legal and the biological father.

He said in the case of a woman getting pregnant and deciding not to tell the father, that this bill would not only deprive the man of the right to be a father, but would also get him out of his duty to pay child support.

Works for me, Rory. No man should be ambushed. When she knows, he should know. Of course, if she's wrong or lies about who the father is, she should be penalized.

The Law should not demand husbands pay for boyfriends' babies in the face of established paternity. In some states it does.

Any progress made towards putting men, and fathers, on an equal playing field with women is a good thing. Modern women, like those whining about the cost of 90 days "birth control" for $10, need to learn personal responsibility.
