THEY made the choice and commitment to
do that. THEY made the choice and commitment to be parents. Just
because
the child did not grow in the father's womb does not make him any
less
of
a
parent than the mother!

Nor did I claim so.

But you have said that, because the man did not give birth, he should
be
entitled to walk away scot free any time he chooses to.

He also said this:

"I know a number of folks who had no father.
Many of them say they were just fine with such an arrangement. Some
have
actually expressed joy that he was not in the picture, saying they are
better off."

Not a big fan of fathers, is he?

He certainly does not seem to be. I do not find today's system to be at
all
fair, but his ideas about men being able to just walk away whenever they
want to beause they did not make the decision to bring the child to
birth
is
just plain scary.

Then I guess you will just have to take it up with the government people,
because that is what's fair when it comes to THEIR rules.

I'm sensing issues--Did your father abandon you?

It would be interesting to know why he is so h^ll bent on having the right
to walk away from any child at any time with no ongoing responsibility to
that child.
