I wasn't a bitter person, nor w... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting (Other) Should fathers be able to opt out of parenthood?: 15 of 52
If the decision is made, in the very first place, to create a life and actually keep the child, then no parent, whether mother or father, should have the choice to "opt-out" of parenthood.
