I simply stated if a man wanted to take full custody of the child he should be able to do so.
Of course he should, if she is willing to carry it to term for him.

The other side of your rant is that you are saying it is ok for you to kill a man's child without his consent.

Okay. My honest opinion here rk, and I have a feeling this isn't likely to be a popular one: up until that baby leaves the mothers body, it is not a baby it is a feotus. A feotus is, to me, a potential baby. When it is born it is a baby in the world, experiencing life and is no longer existing within its mother's body. At that point the baby has its own, human rights, separate from the mother. At that point, it is as much his child as hers.

Prior to that...if it exists inside my body, if it is a part of me, it is mine.
