TN - Child support termination bill attacked
"Chris" wrote in message ... -- [Any man that's good enough to support a child is good enough to have custody of such child] . . "teachrmama" wrote in message ... "Bob Whiteside" wrote in message ... "Chris" wrote in message ... ================================ I don't think that either parent should have rights that the other parent does not have, Chris! Then you are also saying that neither parent should have any responsibility that the other does not. The problem with that is no one would ever be able to choose which rights/responsibilities they want. Sounds marxist to me. What a bunch of crap! If you believe in free will any parent can define their own version of parental rights and responsibilities. Artifitial rights and responsibilities thrush on divorced or single parents by court order are only enforcable as long as a parent alllows them to interfer with their free will to be a parent. But you already know that. If a woman chooses to bring a child into the world, ashe should not get an automatic siphon into a man's pocket. If she cannot afford the child and the man does not wish to be a father, the child should be given to someone who can afford to care for it. This country's insistence on paying women to bring children into the world that they cannot afford to suport is ridiculous. But that does not mean that I believe that no man should ever be responsible for a child simply because he does not have a uterus. Nor do I. If he voluntarily accepts such responsibility, more power to him! I say this right is more than voluntary. Fathers have every right to reach out to their children and exert their parental rights regardless of what any court says. The children get it in the long run. And having parental rights comes with having parental responsibilities. If you want the rights, you accept the responsibilities. I think, Bob, that Chris resents having the responsibilities that ore thrust upon him. Since he seeks no rights, he feels that he should have no responsibilities--that it should all be his choice. "Choice" is something which you know nothing about; except when it comes to a woman's choice to bear a child. I vehemently disagree with his idea that a man should be entitled to walk away from a child at any time with no responsibilities because the man did not give birth. That's because you incorporate the idea of being burdened with responsibility for a choice which one is incapable of making. IMO you are mixing up parental responsibilities with parental obligations. They are not the same thing so lumping them together is totally illogical. And it is even more illogical to claim either of those concepts are tied to childbirth decisions. |
