Not with you there either. If we're going to have abortion rights, I think the man should have say in that matter also. If he doesn't want to support the child, he should have a say in aborting it. Otherwise, it's a sexist law. I mean, a woman who doesn't want to be a mother is called pro-choice, but a man who doesn't want to be a father is called a dead-beat or any variety of other things. I mean, you can deduct alimony, and alimony can be subtracted from your income for low-income housing qualifications, etc. However, child support cannot be. The law is set up in a very discriminatory fashion. If you don't want a kid, do what every married woman does and stop having sex.
