    Why can't the father choose not to pay the child support if he wants abortion?

    If a woman can choose (not) to abort without father's consent, why can't father choose not to pay child support if he wants her to do an abortion but she refuses? Either that or he should be able to stop the abortion but take full responsibility for the child once it's born.

    Wouldn't that make the playing field equal?

    Childbirth isn't equal

    The father chose to have have the baby when he had sex. In cases where the father did NOT choose to have the baby, he is not liable for any child support.

    You can't tell a woman to kill her fetus. I can't think of a single culture on the planet who'd allow that.

    Imagine if this was an actual choice...how many fathers would be like "but I told her I wanted an abortion" just to get out of paying? Child support would probably become almost non existent.

    Financial abortion should be a thing. You want to keep the baby knowingly that you will be alone -> you pay for the baby yourself. Would make things more equal.

    That's the same argument the pro lifers make. Why use this argument anyway? I'm pretty sure having sex isn't consent to being pregnant. I personally view abortion as last way of contraception. I don't see why both parties shouldn't have ability to terminate pregnancy without each others consent as being parent should be a choice independent of wheter people had sex or not.

    Because for men, we have decided babies are the punishment for having sex.

    Women on the other hand we can't punish for having sex because that would be sexist and double plus evil!

    On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism.

    Yes I could see this being somewhat of an issue. Just like polygamy isn't really a problem, expect when you consider how ugly divorces would turn.

    If you don't wanna pay wrap up, it's simple

    This. While we can play the game of "if he didn't want a kid, he should've used protection" until this thread gets closed, but the truth is, protection isn't 100%, as well there are plenty of opportunities where it isn't available, isn't mentioned, isn't even thought of, woman says her tubes are tied, etc, and at SOME point, some poor unlucky guy is going to win that lotto. If the woman refuses to abort (which is certainly her right), then the man should be allowed to refuse to pay child support because he doesn't want the child. Financial abortion certainly sounds like a good term for it.

    Feminists screaming for equality, but men have absolutely no say-so in this matter. Go figure.

    The purpose of sex is to reproduce. Having sex is consent to being pregnant, according to current precedent in terms of the law.

    That being said, child support is totally fucked right now and biased. But this solution is terrible.

    if you create a baby, you gotta see that it's paid for; abortion is irrelevant to that

    if you're pregnant, you have the option of getting an abortion; child support is irrelevant to that.

    Don't fuck women / get the snip if you're that worried

    Men have to pay
    Women have to squeeze it out and raise it

    Men get the better deal

    Because the welfare of an innocent child is more important that what's legally 'right or wrong' regarding the wallet of some dude that didn't remember to wrap his stump.
