"So you hit the brakes and turn into a neighborhood and flip a coin for where you're doing to turn next before parking in a random driveway five or six turns in and then duck down. Works on cops. Should work on her. ;)" - Adam Knight

"I didn't say it didn't benefit a participating father. There's no need to go down the road of random statements. And I'm not just thinking of abortion. If the mother refuses to identify the father and wants to give the child up for adoption, the real father has little recourse other than: * A lawsuit to get a paternity test done. This is hard because if it's done in utero then there's a miscarriage risk. After birth, the child has been handed over. And you have to establish paternity to... * A lawsuit for custody. Even if you establish paternity, if you're not a "present" father already, the cards are stacked against you. If the mother chooses to shun the father during the pregnancy for any reason, he has a much harder time afterwards because she can say he wasn't around and now he has to prove it was her fault. One more thing to prove. It goes on and on. I know a fellow in the middle of the fight now. He started at around 3mo in the pregnancy. The kid's almost two now. He probably..." - Adam Knight

"By the same token, women get higher medical rates for being the baby factory. That never ends as long as the organs are in place (they can still hey cancer or infected). So just as one would defend the auto insurance hike based on risk, one can defend the medical one. However, we have seen cause to make them equal so the call to action has begun for and end to gender-based insurance rates in general. The problem will be that we will go from women being three times more expensive to cover medically to both genders being twice what men used to be alone, just to offset it. Auto would wind up the same way. I can hear the women complaining now about having to pay for reckless males without considering that we all now share the cost of the children she will have." - Adam Knight
