[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He just tells her he is keeping the baby, there’s nothing she can do about it and he makes her pay support for a kid she doesn’t want.

That’s what would happen if the roles were reversed, fair is fair. [/quote]

EXACTLY what I was thinking.  Funny how when the shoe is on the other foot if SHE is the one who doesn’t want to keep the baby.

When a guy doesn’t want a child he helped create but the girl does, he still has to pay support.  Why wouldn’t it be the same if you swap pronouns?[/quote]

The thing is, this actually does happen a lot. When I worked with parenting adolescents in Appalachia, boys frequently told the girls they were going to fight for custody and block an adoption. So the girls abandoned adoption plans. Six months after baby arrives, the boy has visited a few times, hasn't paid any support, or filed for custody. And the girl is now attached to the baby. We weren't allowed to give any legal advice, but I always wanted to tell them to go ahead with their plans and let the boy get a lawyer to block it.[/quote]
