Men Are Insane

So I don't know any details about this lawsuit, and thus can't comment on it from a true legal standpoint right now, but COME ON. http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/03/08/fatherhood.suit.ap/index.html Basically this guy is bringing a lawsuit, which he is comparing to Roe v. Wade, saying that men should be able to opt-out of paying child support if the woman decides to have a child that the man "doesn't want." I mean, can you even compare the issue of abortion to the issue of paying child support in a totally non-legal, rational person context? I guess he's going to try to make it out as some sort of equal rights issue?! But seriously, a woman's decision to have an abortion is a lot more complex than "do I want this child," or so it would seem. And I'm guessing that it often has nothing to do with "can I afford to have this child," or "do I want to pay for this child." Anyway, I'm going to a NARAL luncheon tomorrow, it will be interesting to see if anyone brings this up.
