    How does that factor into the debate?

    Men contribute after birth too. And men can also do the lion's share of the childrearing. How people decide to split work after birth is largely irrelevant - a woman knows the costs of pregnancy and childrearing depending on her situation before the child is born.

    If you want to argue that last part, then you are arguing that people should not be held responsible for the consequences of their actions. Good luck with that one, as well.
    Sorry, never heard of it happening, but no, I'm making exactly the opposite argument - that people SHOULD be held responsible for the consequences of their actions.

    My father when he for couple years paid child support for my youngest sister, paid something like 200 a month. If you think raising a child only costs 200 a month, then you're in for a shock. So, in other words, the mans part didn't really cover crap.
    How two adults split labor after the child is born is irrelevant to the question of who has responsibility for raising of the child.

    $200 a month is quite a bit for your information. At least, for many people, it is. I would start going into debt if I had to pay an extra $200 a month.

    Sorry, you are not making that argument. Both genders are being held responsible for their actions. Women can pay child support. It's based on the custody of the child.

    Those contracts will get thrown out of court, don't be silly. They have no value.

    Then that should be the issue you are fighting for... not incessant whining about women.

    Be my guest and see how far 200 a month would take you, if you had to pay ~230k for raising a child. It comes up to 20%. Do you figure 20% is extremely unfair contribution from men, who infact were 50% responsible for the kid?

    Born doesnt mean you have to get out of mother's womb. You are technically born the moment sperm gets into the egg.

    Abortion should be outlawed. Don't want to get pregnant? Don't have sex. That simple.
    I didn't say it was unliving. Obviously it's living, but that doesn't matter much. Unless your heart is breaking over the microbes you genocide on a daily basis.

    Saying women can pay child support so they have equal rights is like saying gays can marry women, so everyone has equal rights. You have a lot of logical inconsistencies in your worldview.

    Then the only argument you should be making, is that abortion should be illegal. If you want to make that argument fine. However, you will be arguing against bodily autonomy and privacy if you do.

    Men do not bear sole responsibility, that is an outright falsehood. I would love to see you provide a shred of evidence to support such a bullshit claim.

    Feel free to provide evidence for that part. Never heard of such.

    It's not inconsistent at all. The person who does not have custody of the child is the one who pays child support. If the man has custody, then the woman is obligated to pay child support (unless another agreement is made). Yes, that's how it works.

    50% responsible? No no no, men should not have 50% responsibility for the kid if they have no say in whether or not it's carried to term (which they shouldn't). The contribution of sperm is practically negligible, which is the idea that gives women ultimate power over the fetus. If you want to say that men are 50% responsible for a pregnancy, then they deserve 50% rights as well.

    The contribution of sperm is literally one half of the equation in creating a child. Of course, you didn't believe that women paid child support... so... maybe you shouldn't hang around men's rights sites to get your information.

    THIS ISN'T ABOUT AUTONOMY.

    No one is arguing that people should force women to get abortions. That's not what's going on here. The issue is that men bear more responsibility than they have rights. As in, the woman can make unilateral decisions about the fate of the fetus, yet the man is expected to pay up regardless of whether or not he agrees with her decision.
