Because they're murdering children and taking away their right to live, most of the time because they just don't want the responsibility. A right that is NOT afforded to men. We have to deal with the responsibility under the gun of the law...even if we're not ready. Women claim to have less rights than men, well this is a right, as well as Affirmative Action, that men do not have. So, equality is really in the favor of women if you don't listen to the lies and just look at reality.
^^^^When men get pregnant^^^^ They are welcome to the same
equality on the subject as women.
If women don’t want to get pregnant, then don’t engage in actives that result in men fertilizing eggs? Sad, but the trend seems men are turning to sex robots because they don’t need the hassle?
Make Paternity DNA testing and support of child mandatory per Federal Law.
Enough! With women being 100% responsible - - when it comes to enjoying sex - - and the sometimes result of that act.

The act is enjoyable to ensure the continuation of the species? The biology act of sex is to continue the species? Is there not less barbaric ways than abortion for birth control? There are not more progressive and less evasive forms of birth control? You would enjoy sex if every act of intercourse resulted in an unwanted pregnancy and an abortion? That seems very unpleasant? I think it takes a male donor and female donor to create a fetal egg?

And I have seen CS support money go for drug use by the mom, while guys worked hard to meet the court mandate?

Some of us consider the unborn child an individual. A human being.
And murder is distasteful to most.

and I think that half the cost of raising the care is equitable. after all, what's that "traditional family"?? oh ya, men earn the cash, women takes care of home and kids. well, that's basically two full time jobs there. all too often the women still gets the full responsibility of caring for the home the kids are living in and the kids with no dad in sight.. seems to me that if you want the women to now pitch in the financial needs of the family, then the dad should be responsible to pitch in with the care of the kids, be it by taking custody while the mother is working or paying half the child care costs while she is working. then they can share the expense of the kids 50/50. as it is it's quite possible that they were barely making it together, so there is no way that they are gonna have the funds to hold two households and at least some funds will be from the taxpayer. so, why should the taxpayers be saddled with the cost for kids they had nothing to do with bringing into the world if dad gets to walk away without contributing as much as he can up to that 50% and likewise mom isn't doing crap as far as making herself marketable in the workforce?

Actually, while I agree with the DNA testing for familial heath history purposes, I don't think men should be forced to care for kids they don't want. In that event, yes, it's all on the mom to wing childrearing herself.
It might not be a popular opinion, but I really don't feel forcing people to do that is the way to go. I'd be much happier with subpar men being able to sign away paternal rights, ergo letting them completely off the hook. Sometimes the CS money isn't worth the fight, and we all know that.

I am not going to give men a pass. It starts PRE-Pregnancy.
Condoms are very reliable. (not full proof, but very reliable).
Many men still expect the woman to be responsible for birth control.
Do you see men out protesting for more funding for Male Contraceptives?
NO, you don't. They should.
Do you think men would use a Male Contraceptive if there was a reliable one on the market?

Because, apparently, many Americans only care about you before you are born.
Once you are out they couldn't care less.

You have it all wrong. Many of us want to ensure each life is given equal potential to succeed. Part of that is ensuring a "right to life" (outside situational exceptions and medical reasons of broad justification)
Shylock is not swayed by Portia arguments to be merciful nor by an increased offer of money, so Portia grants him his wish: the bond must be honoured. Shylock prepares to cut out a pound of Antonio's flesh from near his heart. Antonio prepares to die.
At the last minute, Portia points out that the bond makes no mention of blood - so that if Shylock spills the smallest drop of Antonio's blood, his act is illegal.
