That said, I'm 100% behind the idea of a man being able to completely opt out of child support because it was *her* choice to keep it, not his, so he shouldn't be forced into being an unwilling ATM.


How would this work though? I can see a laundry list of problems.

As mentioned before, this will never be an evenly-matched scenario. The woman's bodily autonomy will take precedence every time. That being said, the issues begin to arise when the father wants to 'opt out.'


She's the one that wanted to keep it, so it falls on her to try and figure out how to take care of it. If that means going to her family for help, or looking into other forms of financial aid, so be it.

The point is that for the sake of fairness, the man has at least one option (to opt out) in lieu of the fact that he can't stop/force her pregnancy otherwise.


While this may seem like an unfair statement, keep in mind that bodily autonomy takes precedence. It wasn't just her that made the baby. It takes 2 people. The one that has to carry the baby to term or endure the abortion gets 'first pick.' After that, both parties need to live the with the decision.

Ultimately it would be best if both parties made a decision together, but that will not happen every time. Allowing fathers to opt out at any time makes the already shitty scenario even worse.


If she didn't want to end up in a shitty scenario, she should have gotten an abortion instead of thinking the man was going to be a free meal ticket.

At no point did anyone force her to have the kid, it was her choice all the way through. And now that the bodily autonomy issue is over with, she's the one left holding the bag. It is nobody's fault but her own if she didn't consider that when she dived head-first into single motherhood that the father could be an absolute non-factor, finance included.

Either the whole situation needs to be fair to both parties or unfair to both, I refuse to accept any double-standard where either party gets dumped on twice while the other gets off clean.
