64. And on a scale of zero to one hundred,
how often does this happen to how many men out of a hundred? Why am I not surprised that your proposed law doesn't protect the interests of women? Does it even protect the interests of girl children?

No one is saying the father shouldn't be informed. Back in the Jurassic before Roe vs. Wade many things happened that aren't considered ethical today. Many teen agers were wisked off to unwed mother's homes and coerced into giving the baby up for adoption because neither family wanted a scandal.

Many women opted not to tell the father because they knew he wouldn't care or would attempt to get out of paying child support by claiming he was only one of a gang bang that happened at that time.

For the few brave women who attempted to get child support from the courts, a string of men witnesses were paraded in these civil suits saying they had all had sex with that woman and anyone of them could be the father. Fortunately DNA testing today can pinpoint the genetic father.


Gimme a break. Giving life is a huge responsibility, but the fact is even in the best of marriages, the women will be giving 60% and more to the nurturing of a child. For this reason they need control over whether they will chose to go through with a pregnancy or end it. I even put more thought into adopting a kitten, examining whether or not I can give this little life a good home than many people do to having children.
