In situations where a mother wanted a child but the father didn't, should he be required to pay child support?

Question

Answer

Yes, especially if no protection was used.  Unprotected sex leads to pregnancy. That's a fact.

Answer

I already said no on the other poll. Basically I think a man has every right to terminate his rights and not pay child support. I fully believe the woman should be able to terminate the pregnancy, despite any opposition from a man. I think it would be unfair to say he can't have the same right in terminating responsibility.

Answer

He still made that child.

Answer

Women "trap" men every day regardless of the use of a condom.

Also if women have the right to "choose" shouldn't a man? Given the fact he's willing to sign off all rights to the child why should he be required to be responsible for it if a woman has a right to choose if she wants to "take the chance" of being responsible

Answer

I put no, but meant yes. If he didn't want a child, he should have used a condom. Simple as that.

Answer

I think it depends on if he legally terminates his rights or not.
