[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 605205, member: 1550"] A convicted rapist will not be allowed to see his child. He'll be in jail. As for non-criminal fathers, they do have to pay child support. You get into a lot of trouble for not paying child support. Lots of men are in jail because of it. Fewer women are forced to pay child support, but the trend is changing a little bit. A man can not get 100% tricked into having a baby. Come on now. Unless the man is mentally challenged, he knows that when he does the deed he could make a baby and that some women will lie and say "I'm on the Pill!" This is no different than when a man says, "I had a Vasectomy!" and he really didn't. It's a common issue and it all boils down to both people not being careful about who they have sex with. Also, if a man wants to see his child, all he has to do is take the lady to court and he will get to see his child on a regular basis. If he doesn't do it, it is like saying he doesn't want to see his child because no court will deny a decent man from seeing his child. Some men choose not to go to court. Under those conditions, nothing can legally be done to force visitation. As I said earlier, I don't think we have enough jail space in this world to punish men or women who lie about the circumstances of their child's conception. "I'm on the Pill!" "I'm sterile!" "I tied my tubes." "I was snipped." in my opinion there shouldn't be any punishment for one or the other being devious and the partner being too trusting or not smart. Our country can't afford it. The issue of who supports the baby is not related to whether or not there was trickery involved in the child's conception. The child is here. A father is usually named and a DNA test can prove if the man is the father. If the man is not the DNA father and wants nothing to do with the child, he should get out of the picture entirely and let the father claim his child, be the father, and the father or mother, whoever makes more, should pay child support. These are not both the same issue. They are separate ones. in my opinion too many people have sex without thinking these days and the children pay the price every time. I am concerned about those children....the adults involved, not so much. Adults can take care of themselves. As for what is fair and not fair, when life becomes fair, let me know. As long as I've been alive, it has not been. [/QUOTE]
