Roe V Wade for MEN

Father's Rights? Men Want Right To Turn Down Fatherhood
Group Wants Same Rights As Women



NEW YORK -- A group of men's rights activists will file a lawsuit Thursday aimed at giving men a chance to opt out of financial responsibility for raising a child.

The group argues that women have more options than they do in the event of an unintended pregnancy.

The gist of the argument: If a pregnant woman can choose among abortion, adoption or raising a child, a man involved in an unintended pregnancy should have the choice of declining the financial responsibilities of fatherhood.

The National Center for Men has nicknamed the lawsuit Roe v. Wade for Men.

They plan to file the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Michigan on behalf of a 25-year-old Saginaw man ordered to pay child support for his ex-girlfriend's daughter. The man contends that his ex knew he didn't want to have a child with her and assured him repeatedly that -- because of a physical condition -- she could not get pregnant.

The suit also addresses the issue of male reproductive rights. They believe that lack of such rights violates the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause.

The activists involved hope to spark discussion even if they lose.

Women who trap men or try and hold on to them through a pregancy are evil. I support this all the way.

you are just wrong on this case. if you have sex with a woman there is a risk she might get pregnant. that is a risk the GUY takes.

And just because someone gets pregnant does not mean they have to carry it to term. That is what abortion is for

And it's a risk the woman takes as well. If someone does not want to be a parent and they take the necessary means not to become one, if a woman is lying and caniving to get pregnant, regardless of whether or not the mans action resulted in preganncy that was not his intent and he should not be enslaved and abused by this woman.

yeah but the risk is offset by the LAW that says the other parent has to pay child support. And you KNOW that some woman pay it to men. and it has ZERO to do with the intent. please think about that... you can not mean that.

it seems that you do not belive in consaquences or resposobility at any level.

And just because someone gets pregnant does not mean they have to carry it to term. That is what abortion is for

yeah but it is called pro-CHOICE because it is HER choice and her's alone

it all is summed up by the idea "my body my choice" the man has the right to not make a baby by keeping his sperm in his body or at least away from a woman's eggs. Once he waves that right it is gone. just like if a woman gets pregnant and waves the right to have an abortion until the baby is born; it is too late the window is closed. at that point the woman can say "i do not want the baby" and then the father can say "i will take it" and then force the mother to pay child support.

it is as far as it can be given how babies are formed.

now the case of a frozen enbryo: both have equal say in what happens to them. the man can stop her or anyone else from using them. just like the woman can stop him from having them put into another woman. it is all as fair as it can be.

both have rights once it is out it is too late.

why does it need to be "a trap" for you to sympathise or show any support?

why couldn't it be the case that they used contraceptives, they failed, and he doesn't want any liability for the child that she chooses to birth from her body?

If she chooses to continue the pregnancy despite all evidence that point to the fact that they didn't want children and that is why they used contraceptives, since it is her choice on whether or not to continue the pregnancy then no, I do not agree that a man should not have a choice in that situation. She knows he doesn't want to be a father but she holds the cards and therefore should shoulder the responsibility on her own.

The laws are so slanted toward women on this it is ridiculous. I am paying child support for a kid that is not mine the mother finally admits that it is not mine. But I still have to pay arrears child support to the tune of $30,000. All a woman has to do in CA is file a claim; if you are out of state when she does all she has t do is say she does not know where you are. The state does even try to find you. When you move back to the state and try to get your drivers license they hit you for back child support plus interest.
