The same was true of either myself, or my ex (or both). We knew what we were getting when we rolled the biological dice, and we wanted that, even if we didn't want each other anymore or beyond it. My big little girl is amazing, from what I know, and that shit aint all me, lol.
What I have is our son. What the ex missed out on (by his own choice) was our son.
I win.

I'm gathering that the system as it is wasnt anything that negatively impacted whatever relationship your kids dad wanted with his kid - but fuck me...it really does grind alot to dust, and shit on both parents regularly.

Some of the legislation I saw being considered implies that women can be detained for being suspected of attempting to leave the state for an abortion and/or be arrested for having an abortion once they return home

‘Simply’? What the hell is simple about having to travel half a continent for a basic medical procedure?

As Losty pointed out, that possibility has occurred to the theocrats. So, if they don't already have one ready to trigger, they're all writing fugitive uterus acts.

Edit Reason: clarification
)
My support payments were for the first seven years <$100, that was because I had physical custody almost 50% of the time and wasn't making much. In 2008 I lost my job to the Great Recession and went on unemployment, so my income fell. My custody didn't. All the same, CA notified me that my monthly support was now $275. I didn't have the legal knowledge to go about an appeal representing myself, and didn't have the $ for a lawyer, so the last 7 years of my son's minority I paid the money without rancor to her. I didn't mind paying my share.
I think forced vasectomies are a cut too far. I don't think the government should be fucking with anyone's body like that. But yeah, going after the deadbeats more vigorously might help a few women, until the men learn some Spanish and head for the border or some other crafty shit.

Point taken. For those who are wealthy enough, it is "simple".

Yeah, that's their next step, to outlaw abortion at the federal level, or at least criminalize interstate health care.
