Equal rights for Fathers

http://alternet.org/rights/39716/?

"Yet according to a randomized study of 46,000 divorce cases published in the American Law and Economics Review, two-thirds of all divorces involving couples with children are initiated by mothers, not fathers, and in only 6 percent of cases did the women claim to be divorcing cruel or abusive husbands."

33% of pregnancies are out of wedlock:
"Yet these relationships fail for many reasons besides male perfidy. These include: youth, economic pressure and the lack of living wage jobs (how many couples fight over money?), and the mothers' post-partum depression and mood-swings."

It is wrong to force a pregnancy on an unwilling father just as it is wrong to force a pregnancy on an unwilling mother.
