- Self-selected sample. What do you expect to find in
- alt.dads-rights? You might get different results by asking
- about the topic in soc.women.
-
- |Granted, women get their share of hardships. But is the issue merely
- |a matter of getting even? Is child support primarily punishment?
-
- The embittered men in soc.men and alt.dads-rights apparently
- perceive it as punishment from the woman, instead of as
- something they owe to their children. Sounds to me like it's
- just fallout from nasty breakups-- the child is used as a tool
- by each to hurt the other.
-
- What this has to do with abortion I'll never know, unless some
- foolish men want to take away abortion rights. Cut off your
- noses to spite your faces, idiots-- making abortion illegal will
- sure prevent those nasty women from carrying an unwanted
- pregnancy to term & presenting you with a child you don't want
- to support. Oh yeah!
-
- If any fool wants to make that argument, I'd love to slice him
- to shreds in t.a. If wiser men want to discuss non-abortion-
- related solutions, I'd appreciate it if they discussed them
- somewhere other than talk.abortion.
