changing the laws are the only way that ego-driven men have any hope of controlling the woman after they get them pregnant. if men would only realize that the only control he has in whether or not she has the child depends (almost) solely on the relationship he has with the woman. one night stand? no relationship so no say. love and care for your woman? she will consider your opinion in return. regardless, the woman is 100% in control and men can't stand it.
