With DNA testing it's almost impossible for the man to deny his parentage.
Yes, I do believe they should be equal - equal in responsibility for the pregnancy and for the caring of the child. However, the men who did not want to bear any of the responsibility did not accept that logic.
As far as who decides the issue of whether to abort the fetus or not if the man and woman disagree -- I don't know. That's the real dilemma in all of this, I guess.
A third, so two thirds were willing to assume the reponcibility. I thought so.
On DNA tests i still say the precentage for todays social standard would even be less then a third. You read about them in the paper being forced to a test but i have yet to meet anyone that actually had to do it.

IMO withholding the males equalness untill they prove themselves is i think against the Constitution. If it is a right and they are equal, it is there from the start and not installed after he proves his worth. I noticed you said they "should" be equal. So you believe there is an indiference?

Do you agree that waiting till after sex is a stupid time to consider if your sex partner is going to be responcible father. If there was any discrpency about his honor, shouldn't it be brought up before sex? Or is it ok to have fun now and worry about it later. That's what i don't get, most females makes a charactor judgement before they sleeps with men. But it seems maternal instincts is not high on the list if it is there at all. She made a mistake and immediately turns it around to see who is going to be responcible, isn't it too late for her as well as the male?
P.S. I have enjoyed very much this convesation with you.
