[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Discussion about how much control we have over daughters makes me cringe a bit. [/quote]

I didn't post that, but many daughters will come to their parents for advice with a pregnancy. NO girl is going to go to her boyfriend's parents for advice. Boyfriend and boyfriend's parents have ZERO say over what happens to baby. [/quote]

Wrong.   Boyfriend and his parents have zero say over what happens to the pregnancy (meaning the girl's right to abort or carry to full term.)

The baby's father absolutely has a say over what happens to his born child.  Some people here are posting that [b]statistically[/b] they won't go to court to pursue their rights, and I don't doubt them....But that doesn't change the fact that if he DID choose to be an involved father he COULD have equal involvement and "say" as the mother once the child is born. [/quote]

Practicalities can get in the way of that. What teenaged father could be as involved with the baby as the mother if she’s breastfeeding?[/quote]

Mom can pump and send breast milk OR they can use formula on Dad's time but its usually a way to block Dad's from custody/visitation and that is the key time for Dad's to also bond.[/quote]

I suppose boys who are actually invested in the child could push for this and invest in a breast pump for the mom (which she would need whether dad is giving breast milk or formula), but how many are going to? There’s a difference between what a young father has a right to, and what lengths he’s willing to go to for equal time with the baby.[/quote]
