KATHERINE DOW
F ATHER'S Day might
be the perfect time to
rethink the question
of a father's rights and responsibilities,
to take some
of our most cherished and
unexamined slogans and
see if they are fair. ( This
is a dangerous prospect:
Obviously there is a reason
we cherish and don't examine
our slogans.)
Take for instance the
idea of " a woman's
right to choose." I
believe absolutely
that a woman should
decide whether to
terminate or go
forward with a
pregnancy. The
man's opinion is
only secondary,
and if there is a
conflict, entirely
negligible.
But is this fair?
The social scientist
Dalton Conley
wrote a provocative
op- ed, A Man's
Right to Choose
in the New York
Times on this subject
a few years ago. He
wrote, " But when men
and women engage in
sexual relations both
parties recognize the
potential for creating life.
If both parties willingly
participate, then shouldn't both
have a say in whether to keep a
baby that results?"
His reasoning sounds sensible,
but the practical question
of what to do if they violently
disagree seems to demand a more
tangible plan for resolution, and it's
this I discussed with him over coffee
last week. As a thought experiment,
I tried to imagine I was having an irresolvable
conflict with a man over an
accidental pregnancy. I told Conley I
just don't see a compromise: It has to
be the woman's choice.
He said, " Then the man shouldn't be
responsible for the baby."
Earlier in our conversation, Conley
had said he is drawn to taboo, to getting
people to re- examine received
wisdom. I thought some more about
this hypothetical baby. " You are asking
people not just to rethink things
but to refeel them."
He said, " Well, I am asking people
to put aside their feelings and think in
a more rational way."
Maybe we can assert that the
woman should have the ultimate legal
right to choose, but at the same time
admit that right is very complicated
and charged and morally fraught,
that choosing something against the
will of the man involved is an act of
some degree of unfairness; it may be
a necessary act but not an entirely
unambiguous one. Our tendency is
to give to the pregnant woman the
moral high ground, whatever she
chooses, but there may be a more
honest, rigorous interpretation that
does not involve high ground and
instead involves the ambiguous murk
in which most of the rest of our lives
take place.
The problem Conley isolates in the
absoluteness of the slogan " A woman's
right to choose" is in the tone - a
certain tenor of self- congratulation,
a politically charged certainty, a lack
of tolerance for the thorniness and
moral challenges of the statement.
One of Conley's more whimsical
solutions to this impasse, in the
conversation we had about it, was that
people should download an app, a sort
of contract before having sex, in which
they agree to what they would do if
a baby were conceived. This seems
impractical, as well as anti- romantic
and anti- aphrodisiac. There are some
things that are better left not talked
about, and what you would do if you
accidentally conceived a child seems
like it might be one of them.
However, it's hard to entirely
dismiss Conley's argument, based as
he says on Enlightenment ideas linking
rights and responsibilities, that
if the man has no say whatsoever in
whether the baby is born, he shouldn't
be held responsible for child support.
This is another idea that comes up
against absolutes that many of us
would find hard to surrender: Namely
that a man is financially responsible
for his child. However, is that always
and ubiquitously fair?
Again, in a practical world, how
could we enforce the idea a man
who didn't really want a child wasn't
responsible for the child? How many
deadbeat dads would step forward
with their reluctance, their ambivalence,
as a way to worm their way out
of responsibility? It is very hard to
see how this could be written into law,
the didn't- want- him argument, without
wide- scale abuse and harm to the
children involved. On the other hand,
it might be reasonable to recognize
there is a certain amount of unfairness
at play. There is the possibility
a woman who has a baby against a
man's will should in some moral, if
not legal universe, claim financial
responsibility for that child.
