- How many of those men who are being jailed for not paying child support
- were men who would have wanted their partner to get an abortion _at the
- time_ of her pregnancy?
-
- My father was briefly jailed for contempt of court--refusing to pay child
- support. He says that the first two of us were planned, the second two
- were accidents, but he didn't want Mom to have an abortion (which wasn't
- legal then anyway). What does this jail time have to do with "forced
- fatherhood"?
-
- I'd be interested in knowing how many of the men who don't pay child
- support after being ordered to do so wanted the child at the time it was
- conceived, or decided he wanted it during the pregnancy.
