In my state of Florida (and I believe some others as well) a women can change her mind about being a parent even after the birth by taking the newborn baby to a fire station, police station or hospital within five days. She can then give the baby up, no questions asked, not even her name, and have no further responsibility for the child. So let's see - She chooses whether to have sex, if she gets pregnant she chooses whether to have the child or an abortion, and then even gets to decide whether to keep the child even after it's born. The man on the other hand, is told (by some)to quit whining, that he gave up all right to choose whether to be a parent just by having sex. And the state will then use all of its powers to force the man to financially support whatever her choices are.
Seems fair to me, right? I can't imagine why all these rotten men don't stay around to be the good fathers they chose to be by having sex, right? And, of course, the women are such victims in all of this.
