Whisky Tango Foxtrot?!

[Doc]

I am troubled by the ethics of your proposal, Doc.

Honesty is a much admired concept, but honesty in sexual relationships is not always there.

You correctly point out that some women do use child support as a means of collecting cash, not necessarily for 'child support' only.  Some men have been just as firmly entrapped by unwanted pregnancies as all women used to be.

However, *if* a proposal such as you are suggesting were to go through, I would want the burden of proof be on the man to convince a court that he had been deliberately misled about the fertility of his partner.

I would not change the status quo at all for the results of failed but genuine attempts to prevent pregnancy.

Ok, so toss the ethics part out.

Is it fair that a woman can escape the financial burdon of having a child but a man has no such right? Though abortion, a woman can opt out at any time, and does not need the man's permission. He has no say. She can relieve her self of any financial responsibility for consentual sex at any time. The man has no such option. Shouldn't a man have the same rights as a woman? Yes or no... Women have the right to choose... And men and women are equal yes? So where is the man's right? It does not exist.

I am not trying to say any of this is right or wrong, I am just saying that there is a glaring double standard that needs to be addressed. It's hypocracy.
