- The woman can't be limited in any way, but the father has the
- "responsibility" to pay for the woman's choice. What garbage.
-
- If you took your rhetoric half seriously, "responsibility" would begin with
- a woman not being so irresponsible as to bring a child into the world she
- couldn't support. Your arguments for forcing men into indentured slavery
- have no basis in a world where "responsibility" is applied consistently.
