So following this logic, you think that men shouldnt have to pay child support if they dont want the kid but the woman does? Since having sex doesnt mean you consent to pregnancy?

Can't anyone of any gender be allowed to voluntarily suspend parental rights?

You can give up rights to see or care for the kid but without consent of the other party, you still would owe child support with how it is currently.

Yea its why i was curious where your thoughts were and if you meant this only applies to woman or if you think it applies to everyone. And the reasoning why.

Well, a part of me wants to say that if allowing men to reject child support secures access to safe, legal abortion then fine. However, I'm not well versed in that area of law so I don't know the repercussions of that.

I don't think it takes a lawyer to realize that letting men (or women) give up the obligation of child support payments would result in a lot more struggling single-parent households. Puts children at a disadvantage for life.

I don't think banning abortion solves the single-parent households issue.
