So? Thatâs only because women are more often in custody of the new born in cases where both parents are not involved together. Still, safe haven laws apply equally to both men and women.Safe haven laws are not gender specific. They donât apply only to mothers.Because women are not leaving kids who are born without support. Your silly notion does exactly that, which is wrong for the child who is born. Just because you want to separate the issue from before birth and after birth; doesnât mean the two can actually be separated. They canât. Youâre proposing kids be raised without support from dads. Thatâs not the case now with moms. The law is not about to legalize deadbeat dads.Now you just moved the goal posts again.
You just said, âright now it's the government saying guys have to support kids born of their sperm...â
Well that speaks to the situation where a child is born. I point out the law treats women equally in those terms, and then you promptly switch back to situations from before the child is born.
I have constantly argued that the issue here is before the child is born, not after, where only women have the legal ability to cancel their parental responsibilities.
They arent?

In reality they are used mostly by mothers.
