You have to ask: “Why have kids?” This is not right on all levels.

Randy,

I am aware of that issue. It is only the latest in a long string of similar issues.

Women are generally under the illusion that the father-hostile social engineering that is being done by judges is in the interest of equal rights for women, or, more specifically in this case, to promote “the best interests of children.”

The reality of it is that both men and women increasingly lose their parental rights to Father State, with women to be breeders and child raisers (according to state-imposed rules), and with fathers being forced to be fathers in absentia and providers through increasingly onerous taxes on paternity, with the State calling all of the shots with respect to how children must become indoctrinated to become obedient servants of the State. The feminist-dominated and -controlled education system plays a big part in the continuing and intensifying indoctrination of children.

Unfortunately, the answer to your question of “Why have kids?” is that increasing numbers of adults have fewer and fewer children, with many, now going on 30 percent, having no intention of ever having any children at all. Except for those who are unaffected by feminist social engineering to bring about the depopulation of Mother Earth, the consequence of it all is that the developed nations, and increasing numbers of developing nations are dying out. I addressed that in many of the articles at Fathers for Life and its blog (e. g.: Demographic Winter).

There is nothing new under the sun. The methods for disfranchisement of parents were a big part of the Bolshevik agenda in the early days of the USSR. That was the wish to deconstruct the institution of the family, so that out of the resulting ruins and rubble of society a bigger and better socialist state could be constructed. That resulted in social calamities that were in short order addressed by the USSR, in order to extricate itself from the social chaos of its own creation.

Free love, as the early communists called it, is today called sexual freedom.
See The Russian Effort to Abolish Marriage, The Atlantic Monthly, July 1926
(See also a more exhaustive history of the evolution and destructive social impact of Soviet divorce laws)

In the long run, the USSR and its affiliated nations never escaped the escalating chaos that it had caused for itself by its early family-hostile policies. For instance, the population of the Russian Federation is currently in the order of 140 million and will by 2045 have shrunk to 70 million. Incredibly, though, the Russian divorce laws were imported, verbatim, to the USA in the mid-1940s and became, through the efforts of feminist law societies, part of family-hostile legislation and law in the USA, from where they were then exported to all nations in the so-called “free” West.

In the last days of his regime, Hitler had these thoughts on disfranchising parents (especially fathers but even more so bachelors who refused to become fathers) but with the aim of producing new human material for the construction of a bigger and better German army. Do the current fascists in power in the developed nations have goals that are any different?

Classification:  UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

Please help!  I want to know where to start…

My husband and I were separated at the time my son was conceived (we have since gotten back together).  He turned 2 in April.  In May, the biological father sued me for paternity and custody when he found out that we had moved to Texas in March.  I am in the military and my husband moved to Texas to get settled.  My son was going back and forth between his biological father and me from December to May.  He was supposed to come back with me to move with me in July and then I was served.  The biological father was fine with us not suing him for child support and making him available for visits, but now doesn’t want us to leave the state with him, wants us to change his birth certificate, and he wants full custody with us having visits because he says he is more stable because I move with my military assignment.  My husband loves our son and wants to raise him as ours.  We want to know what we can do to fight this.  We don’t have much money.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hello DMR,

We can’t provide any sort of legal assistance for your case.  Besides, one of our major aims is to help natural fathers with advice on how to obtain visitation rights to get reasonable access to their children. In about 85 percent and more of the cases of child-access and -custody disputes, the court decisions are directed against natural fathers.  That does not mean that I am biased against you.  I am simply stating facts.

The question in your case appears to be whether your interests should count for more than the interests of the natural father of your child.  Moreover, there are also the interests of your child in regard to his right to know and to be with his natural father.

From my perspective, I would have advised the natural father to obtain an injunction against you to move away farther than a half-hour drive from his residence.

The reality of the custody issue in your case is that you will in all likelihood be able to refuse reasonable or all access by the natural father.  From the perspective of the natural father and that of your child, that would be a great injustice.

Nevertheless, the courts will in all likelihood find in your favour.  It does not appear that you will need much help by anyone.  It will probably be possible for you to represent yourself in court.  However, there will most likely also be a guardian-ad-litem who will ostensibly represent the interests of your child, which will most likely be your interests.

The question in regard to that will be who will be paying the costs of the guardian-ad-litem and of any expert witnesses that may be called into play.  Very likely it will be the natural father who will be ordered to carry those costs.  After all, the courts are heavily biased against men.

I suggest that you get in touch with an equal-parenting-rights organization in Texas, so as to determine what your options are.  Mind you, the venue for the custody hearing will most likely be the home-state of the natural father of your child.

At any rate, you may wish to check this directory for organizations of interest to you in Texas.

You mentioned the child support issue and the fact that you did not demand child support payments.  You may be happy to hear that a decision in regard to that is not necessarily up to any agreement you reach with the natural father.  Texas law on that is most likely no different than the laws relating to that in any other state.  You need to contact Child-Welfare-Services (or whatever government office deals with child-support claims and child-support enforcement in Texas) to find out what your options are.

There is another consideration that, in view of the unlikely event that your current marriage will remain in effect until the death of either you or your husband, you should inform your husband about.

Your current husband will quite possibly have become the “legal” father of the child he did not cause to be conceived.  In regard to that, there are some issues your current husband should get to know about, regardless of how your litigation with the natural father of the child ends.

1. You may not be able to obtain child support from the natural father on account of your current husband being considered to be the legal father.
2. Your current husband may not ever be able to shed his paternal duties to the child he did not father.
3. If your current marriage breaks up (the probability of that happening is on average quite high), your current husband will be ordered to make child-support payment to you for the child he did not cause to be conceived by him.  That principle is called paternity by estoppel.

In many localities a paternity test is a prerequisite to contesting paternity. Unfortunately, virtually without exception, the principles of estoppel (”a legal bar to alleging or denying a fact because of one’s own previous actions or words to the contrary”, such as when paternity was voluntarily assumed — “in loco parentis”) and the “presumption of lawful paternity” (through which paternity is assigned, not necessarily to someone willingly assuming it) come into the picture.  That means that any child born into a marriage is presumed to be the child of the husband of the wife that gave birth to the child, simply through the fact that he is her husband.

The domestic violence industry is reeling from a recent series of high-profile scandals, leaving abuse workers to wonder how things could have possibly gone so wrong.

First the Sex.

Recently a woman described her stay at an abuse shelter. In shocking detail, she recounts how threats and bullying had become commonplace among the shelter residents. Once a resident punched her forearm, screaming at her, “bitch!” One night another woman assaulted her, injuring her back and forcing her to seek medical attention.

The woman also recounted lesbian advances by a shelter employee. “If you become her girlfriend, you will be treated very good, I was 100% sure,” the woman sheepishly explains. On another occasion she was referred to a local lesbian attorney whose fetching assistant was “dressed like she was in a nightclub.”

This is a video that has to be seen to be believed:

Sexual harassment of women in abuse facilities is not uncommon. I have personally spoken with other women who were pressured by shelter workers to engage in lesbian sexual activity in return for better accommodations and special perks.

Now for the Lies….(Full Story)

Oral sex blamed for throat cancer rise

For five gruelling months in 2006 and 2007, Carol Kanga suffered through treatment for a life-threatening case of throat cancer linked to an unlikely source: a sexually transmitted viral infection.

Unable to swallow food or water during chemotherapy and radiation treatment, Kanga was fed through a stomach tube. Her one respite came on Thanksgiving, when she savoured a single spoonful of weak broth….

….concern among some researchers who think [HPV infections are] … causing a small-scale epidemic of throat cancer….

With 6,000 cases per year [in the US] and an annual increase of up to 10 per cent in men younger than 60, some researchers say the HPV-linked throat cancers could overtake cervical cancer in the next decade….(Full Story)

Published: Sunday, June 15, 2008

For some tens of thousands of fathers, in this Canadian province alone, “Father’s Day” is an especially bitter occasion. These are the men separated from their children by court order, many never to see them again. Each knows that his children have been subjected to vicious propaganda against him, that in many cases a child’s own mother — a woman the father once trusted enough to marry — has turned the child’s heart against him. (I know of many cases.)

It could be worse: for the father may have been replaced in his own household by a new man, or even a new woman. Someone who will never care for his children as he did, however badly he may have expressed it; who will at least be lacking the biological compulsion to look out for one’s own flesh and blood.

In a further twist, whether or not mom has found a new squeeze, the ostracized dad may be making court-ordered spousal support payments sufficiently onerous to put him on a cot in some closet — hounded by process servers, and under the threat of jail if his payments fall behind. (I know this experience at first hand.)….(Full Story)

Dear Member/ Concerned parent/ grandparent etc, We were going to hold our first meeting in Edinburgh on the 25th June prior to the Equal parenting debate that was to take place in Holyrood, Edinburgh.

Unfortunately the Debate has now been postponed until the start of the new term ( Sept 2008 ) The debate was to be on MSP Nigel Don’s Motion S3M-01839 , ( Family Law Disputes ) which was to be debated in Holyrood on 25 June, the details of the first Equal Parenting Alliance Scottish Regional meeting have been changed.

S3M-01839# Nigel Don (North East Scotland) (Scottish National Party): Family Law Disputes

That the Parliament recognises that current arrangements for settling family law disputes could be improved and that current law still discriminates against parents who are not married; notes that parents can find it difficult or impossible to enforce contact orders where the other parent is unco-operative and that disputes where broken families live in more than one jurisdiction within the United Kingdom are unnecessarily difficult to resolve; further notes that these issues are particularly relevant due to recent cases in the north east; encourages current moves by Scotland’s legal profession towards collaborative dispute resolution, and notes with interest the new system of less adversarial trials being developed in Australia.

Supported by: Rob Gibson, Dr Ian McKee, Alex Neil, Bill Kidd, Hugh O’Donnell, Joe FitzPatrick, Dr Bill Wilson, Mike Pringle, Sandra White, Jamie Hepburn, Ken Macintosh, Christina McKelvie, Keith Brown, Liam McArthur, Michael Matheson, Nicol Stephen, Lewis Macdonald, Dr Christopher Harvie, Willie Coffey

Today is Fathers Day. What I write here fits the day, as some other comments did that I wrote over the years about fathers and Fathers Day.

The following excerpt is the conclusion of a 2001 commentary that argues that without fathers to head families, society is in trouble.

The “family” in all ages and in all corners of the globe can be defined as a man and a woman bonded together through a socially approved covenant of marriage to regulate sexuality, to bear, raise, and protect children, to provide mutual care and protection, to create a small home economy, and to maintain continuity between the generations, those going before and those coming after.

It is out of the reciprocal, naturally recreated relations of the family that the broader communities—such as tribes, villages, peoples, and nations—grow.

— Allan Carlson, in
What’s Wrong With the United Nations Definition of ‘Family’?
The Family in America (August 1994), p. 3

How can any father forget about the crucial role he must play in that design for the fundamental building block of any well society and still demand respect and justice?

Real fathers put the welfare of others — their families, community and nation — before their own. However, they cannot exercise their role if they are not part of their families and if they don’t receive the respect they deserve for the sacrifices they make. For that we need: Fathers in families, not families without fathers.

It should by now be abundantly obvious to anyone that the feminist social engineering of more than 40 years that resulted in the systematic and endemic marginalization of fathers and families produced nothing but social decay. If you cannot accept that, read Experiments in Living: The Fatherless Family, by Rebecca O’Neill; Sept. 2002, CIVITAS. Rebecca O’Neill states that,

It’s official: The experiment has failed

For the best part of thirty years we have been conducting a vast experiment with the family, and now the results are in : the decline of the two-parent, married-couple family has resulted in poverty, ill-health, educational failure, unhappiness, anti-social behaviour, isolation and social exclusion for thousands of women, men and children.

This morning I found an article that provides an excellent description of the other side of the equation for the symbiosis of fathers, families and nations. That article, by Heretic, a teacher in London, England, describes the history of the deliberate and systematic transformation of the U.K. from being a stable society to one that is in escalating and perhaps terminal social chaos.

There is nothing special about that evolution in the U.K. The same situation exists — in slightly varying stages of “progress” — in every developed nation, thanks to the Left, the largely and almost entirely feminist-dominated and -controlled Left.

Heretic describes the specifics of the history of social decline and decay of the U.K. He could have written in more general terms and just as accurately have hit the nail on the head for all developed nations. Heretic’s article is great and absolutely required reading. Read it: The Industrialisation of the Family.

Belatedly, Switzerland is the last developed nation that, starting in 2007, determined that Fathers Day (on the third Sunday in June) should be a national day of celebrating fathers. That is coming about as a result of intensive lobbying by the Swiss men’s movement.

It remains to be seen whether that will strengthen Swiss families and halt the social decline of Switzerland, but it is a good first step. Still, as of now it did not do anything of the kind in any other nation. After all, what good is one day out of a year for celebrating fathers when fathers receive little or no respect during the rest of the year and the feminist-driven belittling and vilification of men, fathers and families rages on.

Perhaps that is one of the reasons why of all developed nations Switzerland still does not have an official Fathers Day.

Although the problem described in the forwarded article is very real and huge, it is becoming far greater.

To the number of elderly men who lost all contact with their children already decades ago must be added the number of the elderly who were induced to never have children and never forming attachments with a spouse.  The number of adults so inclined now approaches 30 percent of all adults.

That means that not only will the number of elderly lonely men rise as the years go by, but so will the number of elderly lonely women, except that for increasing numbers of elderly women the state of loneliness in their old age will, due to their far greater life expectancies, last many more years.
