Search Results: someone thats pregnant

So the scenario is like this... A woman dated a man for let's say a year, they break up, she finds out after the break up, and getting with her new man, that she is pregnant and it is her ex's. Should her ex be informed of the child, and be allowed to be a father in that child's life...

Item number 1 to consider... He was never abusive, never on drugs, not a criminal.. They just broke up.

I'm of the mind set that she should be required to inform the father. Fathers have rights, and if he helped create a child he should be in that child's life supporting it and being a father..

This question was inspired by two things, one, I'm a member of TFRM (the fathers rights movement) and support default 50/50 custody. And two, by a comment to someone else's question, I won't mention her name, but I see her as everything wrong with women these days, she sees her body and anything that comes from her body as her property to do as she wishes with. The first part is true, the second part is not.. Below is the comment..

"Wow. Not even open to discussion. Just "I'm right and so everyone else is wrong" it is entirely up to her because if he is an abusive asshole then he shouldn't be in either of their lives. Laws that try to tell a woman what she should and shouldn't do with her body and her children and who should get to know are idiotic and primitive. It should entirely be her choice"

She's of the school of thought that fathers are not equal to mothers... Tell that to the people that committed all but one of the recent mass shootings.. They were from fatherless homes.

My father was a serial philanderer. He refused to be faithful to my mother (he may have had his reasons but they were not valid excuses) and he had numerous partners in his lifetime. They had three children - 1949 (sister,) 1952 (brother,) and 1955 (me) - and I suspect that my father knew exactly when he would finally feel free to walk away from the family. Then - whoops! - my mother had a baby in 1960, and the entire clock got reset. I don't know but I suspect that my mother got pregnant with the intentions of keeping my father tied to her a few years longer.

My father resented my younger brother. I almost never saw any affection between my parents. My dad stayed away from home when he could. He held a second job even though my mother also had a nice job and he did not need to have a second job. He took a vacation without the family and stayed gone for about three months. Then he took a job about 450 miles away from home.

It was a crazy, screwed up childhood and I don't think that they did me any favor by staying together. But. . . I don't know what life would have been like if they had divorced when I was a child. Maybe that would have been worse.

What do you think?
