Sorry, BC, I'm not following too well here. You don't agree with me, and that's fine. But I'm not quite making the connection between your 1st sentence and the second about deadbeat dads, which I assume is the explanation as to why you don't agree. Guess I'm just a little dense, but I'd like to understand what you're saying, so if you have a minute and wouldn't mind, maybe you could elaborate a bit. Not looking for an argument of a fight. Asking in good faith.

A common pro choice argument: If women are forced to have children, then society better step up to the plate to ensure the child doesn’t live in poverty. That assumes men aren’t going to support the child so if that’s the case, men would tend to be pro choice so why wouldn’t women WANT men to have a say? They’re more likely to be on their side, no?

OK. I follow you now. Sorry about the confusion. What you say makes some sense from the perspective of one side gaining more support. I was looking at it from the standpoint of if ever there was a "women's issue", this is one that has to be near or at the top of the list for the majority of them, and I felt it made more sense for them to sort it out and resolve it, since they would be affected more than anyone else. Wasn't really advocating for one side or the other in that regard.
