For gods sake are you trolling?
the child is born, there no longer exists any privacy.
All of this revolves around the mother making a private decision not to have a child, but once she has the child she has no right to it being private in any way shape or form, you are aware that birth records are public records anyone can look at ?
You're missing the point. This guy will NEVER KNOW he even had a daughter, let alone he's missing it. Later he may find a not so crazy woman who he will proceed to fall in love with, marry, and have children with, at which point he will father his children. If one day down the road this mother tells him, then he starts to miss out, but if he never knows, he's never going to care.
YOU LAW STUDENT! COME HERE RIGHT NAO AND CONFIRM FOR ME AGAIN.
Most decisions i've seen related to medical privacy, particularly in the case of women, are cases that say specifically that the information cannot be used to impede them from making decisions.
I'm aware of basic medical rights to privacy and think that they would apply, but we're talking telling a man that a child exists rather than that she is pregnant.
So at best, this would cover her until birth, but once the child is born, it wouldn't be a violation under medical privacy.
You mean this?, then you didn't read my post.Two Justices, Hugo Black and Potter Stewart, filed dissents. Justice Black argued that the right to privacy is nowhere to be found in the Constitution.
The ruling is predicated on privacy, the woman has a right to privacy from the state, regardless of whether or not privacy exists in the constitution,
There is no privacy once the child is born.
There isn't.
Apparently you don't get that dissents have no legal meaning whatsoever.

Yes, there is. You're not required to notify non-next of kin about anything.
You can prove my wrong by citing a case that says it. But in true hypocritical fashion, I see no proof coming.
I'm not seeing much proof here. Argumentative laziness.
Meanwhile I actually have proof.

I don't think she really has to tell him - if she's really going to keep him and the child secret from one another then neither of them really miss out and she is allowed to do whatever she wants with her own body.
Having said that, I also hope that in making the decision to keep the baby and be independent (as she claims she wants to be) of the father she doesn't then seek to claim money from him, to support a lifestyle she chose, further on down the line. That would be a scumbag move, especially after depriving him of the opportunity to be involved in the baby's early years.

this is both wrong and irrelevant.
I never made the argument that there is no constitutional privacy, i said that once the child is born then the mother has no privacy about having had a kid.
The kid is then a person as per the 14th and is a citizen that the state is mandated to care for, the mother has no right to privacy about having had a kid.
This is true.Yes, there is. You're not required to notify non-next of kin about anything.
However, the father by virtue of being the father, is universally recognized as the (a) next of kin.
what does this fucking even mean? there is no privacy once the child is born.You can prove my wrong by citing a case that says it. But in true hypocritical fashion, I see no proof coming.
are you nuts?
but fine, birth certificates.
if she had a right of privacy, the state would not be allowed to make those, and if they still would they wouldn't be public documents, and since they both do those things, there is no privacy? satisfied ? or are you going to go full mcintosh?

You stated there's no right to privacy by citing a dissent, when the majority said there was with the force of constitutional law, and it's irrelevant? Handwave harder.

PROVE IT.
Or be a colossal hypocrite that asks for proof, dismisses it, then won't provide his own. I really don't care.
