If impregnating men were held legally responsible for unwanted pregnancies and criminally charged if they were terminated, none of these abortion ban laws would ever have been passed.

@georgetakei

How could a man be criminally charged for an act he didnt do? As for the man being financially responsible, that would only be fair if the woman didnt have a right to forfit the child for adoption either. Not sure that would help if im being honest.

Okay, so, legal system 101: anyone can be criminally charged for an act they did not do... that's why there's a trial, with a judge, a defense lawyer, a jury, etc.

And, like, there's evidence and stuff. Like, wow, they can pretty easily determine if the dude is the dad, so... can you connect the dots from here?

Also, "forfeit" is the preferred spelling, not "forfit."

I see you completely missed the point. Its not about if the court can determine who the dad is. Its that it makes no sense to hold someone accountable for someone elses actions. The same way I would say its a rediculous to hold a woman accountable for a child a rapist produced.

The preferred spelling in English is "ridiculous," not "rediculous," doctor.
