Wrap it up for chrisakes!

So apparently there is a case in Georgia where the man is fighting not to pay child support. His argument, while they were involved, he explicitly told the woman that he was having sex with that he did not want to have kids. Apparently she was on birth control, him nothing. When she got pregnant and decided to have the child, his name is on the birth certificate, making him responsible for child support. He's taking it to court.
I had an interesting short debate with a male student in my class, because basically I said, he should have wrapped it up! (you know, taken some of the responsibility along with the enjoyment!) And the male student spewed that even had she been on birth control and the guy had wrapped it up, that somehow left 4 times in one thousand that pregnancy could still occur. I simply shook my head and wondered off. He really put some thought into that didn't he? My point is, accept responsibility, don't force it on someone else. He was, after all, having sex was he not? That is the primary function for it, in spite of the fact that many people also DO NOT WANT TO GET PREGNANT! How about him getting himself snipped in order to make sure that it doesn't happen. After all that surgery is reversible!
GEESH!

If the guy doesn't want a kid and favors abortion, and the woman wants to keep it, she should pay. How come I never get to sit on juries like that?

Personally, I favor mandatory abortions for everyone. The world doesn't need any more goddamn screaming kids in the grocery store.

4 times in 1000? Okay, I suck at math, but isn't that like 1 in every 250? I mean, they still teach reducing fractions in that school of yours, right? Somebody better clue that knuclehead into Fractions 101.

If that many couples are still getting in the family when using both the pill and condoms, there is serious user error to blame. Those resevoir tips can be tricky to tuck in! Methinks this guy was full of organic fertilizer!

P.S. Please don't use the word "snipped" when refering the holy land.

P.P.S. There is a similar lawsuit filed in Michigan. I am totally rooting for the dude. Why should one man have to pay for "one night in Bangkok" when millions of taxpayers could foot the bill. It takes a village, right...?
