What exactly did you find "inane"? The fact that I'd prefer to see BOTH parties to a child held financially accountable for his or her upbringing (not just one)? For one I see right through your postings here - you want to use this issue to make a case for free* birth control for women and of course the ability to take a swipe at males and paint them as irresponsible is an added bonus, right?

There's a very simple rule that would work - inexpensively - for reducing unplanned pregnancies. Educate your daughters to say "no way we're having sex unless you wear a condom every single time". How effing hard is that? Condoms are cheap -far cheaper than IUDs or birth control pills. We're not talking about the <1% of the time they don't work here either. Between just saying "no" and saying "not without a rubber" it's pretty damn unlikely a woman will find herself pregnant. If you're not convinced and want to provide "free"* birth control to women so they won't have to be burdened with having a backbone then go right ahead - feel free to make a donation to the doctors office of your choice. As for me, I ain't paying for someone else to go sleep around. If someone does and gets pregnant, it isn't my problem. I pay for my own kids - they can pay for theirs. If those kids end up in a less advantaged situation that's also not my problem.

* "free" to them - as in, "people like me are expected to pay for it so they can get it for free and be as irresponsible and promiscuous as they want without consequence"
