Something else to make me angry

"We will ask that women be required to share reproductive freedom with men."

Okay. A guy in Michigan is filing a lawsuit, trying to lift the requirement that a man help financially support a life he helps create. Allegedly, the mother of a kid this guy fathered told him he was incapable of getting pregnant. She also allegedly "knew he did not want to have a child with her."

So, she (perhaps in the heat of a moment, perhaps not) told him that she couldn't get pregnant. There was evidence to the contrary: she is, in fact, a woman who can clearly engage in intercourse. He decided to go ahead, take her word at face value, and got stuck with child support payments.

If you're with someone, would you take their word for it that they don't have AIDS, and know that you don't want to get AIDS, and therefore have unprotected sex with them? Presumably an intelligent person would either keep their pants on, or use a condom. Don't want to risk having a kid? Don't take the risk, and don't have unprotected sex. Simple.
