Equality For Men

Duh, who didn't see this coming...

More than three decades ago Roe vs. Wade gave women control of their reproductive lives but nothing in the law changed for men. Women can now have sexual intimacy without sacrificing reproductive choice. Women now have the freedom and security to enjoy lovemaking without the fear of forced procreation. Women now have control of their lives after an unplanned conception. But men are routinely forced to give up control, forced to be financially responsible for choices only women are permitted to make, forced to relinquish reproductive choice as the price of intimacy.
The National Center For Men, dedicated to the advocacy of men's equal rights. Is this progress?

Cover it up, if you don't want, a baby.

I sampled some recent responses to this lawsuit. It think many women are offended, and most men think this guy is a dumbass.

Personally, I can't imagine not wanting to raise your own child. But it doesn't seem fair that a mother can demand the father pay child support and then deny the father any contact with the child.
