this guy is one of the biggest assholes in America

this man's name is Matt Dubay. he's an asshole. how do i know this? because he has filed a lawsuit to get out having to pay his child support for his daughter because he didn't want to be a father.

you know, call me old fashioned, but maybe if you don't want to be a father you should think before you stick your dick in someone. maybe, you can make a trip to the drugstore and get some condoms so that pregnancy doesn't become a reality.

this story makes me sick. this dickhead doesn't want to have to support his daughter even though he was irresponsible and was partially the cause. the group backing him up on this lawsuit call their suit "Roe v. Wade for men." i call it "parade of the assholes who don't live up to their responsibilities."

and bag the claim that his ex told him she couldn't get pregnant. that excuse is as lame as "the dog ate my homework." he didn't have to fuck her without birth control. nobody held a gun to his head. prick.

Alright, I'll bite. I disagree with your assessment somewhat. Setting aside the specific circumstances of this case, the idea that personal responsibility is split 50/50 before a pregnancy and after a birth between the father and mother, but somehow goes away during the pregnancy itself speaks of the unequal nature of what it means to be a parent under law.

From what I've read of this case, what they are hoping for is passage of some law that would allow a prospective father a limited amount of time after notification of the pregnancy to sign away his parental rights and responsibilities. I think this is entirely fair.

If we are to believe that birth control is of equal responsibility between partners, and if we are to believe that caring for a child financially is of equal responsibility between parents, then it stands to reason that responsibility of whether to keep a child or not (adoption or abortion) should be as equally divided as possible (accounting for biology). As the laws are written now, choice as to the future of a child is entirely out of the hands of the prospective father.

Now on to this guy in the article: It's too late for him, the kid is born and the law is the law. But arguing that the fact that he was blantantly lied to by someone he ostensibly had a loving relationship with should have no bearing on his circumstances seems overly harsh. Unless you are arguing that you should always distrust your partner, which would make for a whole nation full of piss-poor relationships and probably piss-poor parents to boot.
