The old dodge for the men responsible for getting a woman pregnant used to be:
"It's not my baby; you can't prove it's mine". They could, and usually would, flee
the situation, leaving the woman to bear the burden of having the baby -- alone --
and ALL of the burden of caring for a baby. Not to mention the burden of being shamed
for it. (refer to "welfare reform" Pregnancy is always the fault of the woman.
We now have the science of DNA testing to prove paternity. Why is there no law
that insists upon DNA testing of men ? Why aren't they forced to have a medical
procedure (lab test of blood or saliva) like women who are forced to have ultrasounds,
etc.? Why aren't they held accountable for the care of these children they produce ?
If these men are so vehemently opposed to abortion, they should be happy to assume
the custody and care of the child which is their own flesh and blood -- especially if it
means preventing an abortion ! Wouldn't such a standard reduce the number of women
and children who are on those dreaded welfare rolls ?
If Congress passed laws demanding that men be held accountable, the whole
"abortion debate" would evaporate in the blink of an eye. But they won't, because
MEN ARE IN THE MAJORITY. Who says you can't have it both ways ?
