| Well, honestly, if she wanted to keep it, then I wouldn't fight her on it. Though, to be fair, I wouldn't have been the one to suggest it in the first place, but yeah. It's her body. If she wants the child, then she should be allowed to have it. |

| Would you be supportive, too though, or just leave all the responsibility to her? |

| It would be my child as well, of course I would be supportive. Her decision, neh? I'd like to be part of it, but ultimately, it's her call. So yes, I would do anything I can for her. |

There is no hostility or yelling coming from me, either, I am merely asking you a question in retaliation to your one sided response, which still has yet to be answered.
Actually, in my most recent response I did answer what I would do if she disagreed with me signing away parental rights. If she didn't want me to do that, and therefore (I assume) wants child support, I would do so. However, my main point is that I would want to sign away my parental rights and not pay child support, with her consent. After all, we had originally agreed on abortion, meaning neither of us wanted the child, but she changed her mind. That indicates that she wants the child but knows I do not, in this hypothetical situation.
Sailor Moon wrote: You also say that you will never be in this position. How is that possible? Are you a virgin? Sterile?
No, I'm not a virgin or sterile. I'm gay. I don't sleep with women. If I do decide to have a child it will be intentional, through artificial insemination, and with one of a few friends who have volunteered to be surrogate mothers for me.
Whoops! Sorry I forgot.. I dont understand why you even responded to this, though... but hey, thats cool..
I responded since it was a hypothetical situation posed to men and I thought my perspective would probably be different than those of others....maybe even add soemthing to the discussion. And, although gay, I am still a man. ;-) |

Oh I didnt think you craved it, but I am a strong advocate of positive reinforcement in all walks of life, so I figured I'd let you have some positivity. Heaven knows this board is lacking in it...
UF- I appreciate your input, as well, and yes it does bring a new perspective to the table. Very refreshing. |
