Today’s Stupidity From the World of Law

The Associated Press and CNN recently reported on a lawsuit nicknamed the Roe v. Wade for Men. The suit was filed by the National Center for Men on behalf of 25-year-old Matt Dubay of Saginaw, Michigan. The facts of the case appear to be as follows:

• Dubay had a girlfriend, who is now his ex-girlfriend.
• Dubay indicated he didn’t want children
• The ex-girlfriend indicated that she had a condition making her incapable of becoming pregnant.
• Oopsie!
• Elisabeth is currently 8 months old.
• Dubay now owes $560/month in child support.

The lawsuit is intended to give men involved in unintended pregnancies the chance to opt out of financial responsibility for raising a child.

My take on this is as follows. I have taken three deep breaths, and will state it calmly and in as politically correct a fashion as possible:

GROW UP, DEADBEAT! YOU PLAYS THE GAME, AND YOU TAKES YOUR CHANCES!
