OK. This one is so wrong on so many levels that it just defies logic.

If a woman had been MADE pregnant against her desires...... the tables
here would be SOOOOO turned! And before you finger pointers start in
on me read the paragraph third from the last again...... The Friggin
courts awarded this bimbo (and I use that term correctly here) $800 a
month in child support for a child she conceived through out and out
deception! That's not mysogony folks.... that's just calling it like
it is! ANYBODY who wants to argue in this witche's defense is showing
their out and out bias against men and towards women!

This is just another pathetic example of how one sided our legal
system is against men! (looks at his world atlas again wondering if
there really is anyplace where the world has not been turned upside
down!)
