If women weren't so vain then maybe they would actually listen to what the father wants and the law wouldn't have to force them to.
I'm saying that there would be no need for a law like this if women actually stopped to consider what the father of their child wants. Then again, a man has to listen to what the woman wants, too. If he doesn't want the child and she does, they should come to some agreement that he should/shouldn't pay for child support on their own terms. It's really a case-by-case thing, something that can't really be generalized well. If the man wants the baby and the woman doesn't, then maybe they can come to the conclusion that it should be treated like an adoption. She has the baby then she gives the child to him in a situation like an adoption. Though, in the first case, the man should voice his concern about the woman getting an abortion but she shouldn't be expected to get one. In the second case, the man should really ask her not to have one. It really is a hard, one-sided deal because the woman is the one carrying the child and the man isn't, but when it comes to keeping/having it they both should decide, together. If the man walks out on the woman (And I've seen this happen to 5 girls in my life so far) then she should be able to decide what she wants to do with it on her own. And that's only IF he walks out on her.
