Child support case goes to federal court
'Male Roe v. Wade' suit will be argued
ABC Channel 12, WJRT, U.S.A., Kevin Holmes
SAGINAW COUNTY (WJRT) - (06/28/06)--The case is being dubbed Roe v. Wade for men. Now a Saginaw Township man will hear arguments from the defense as to why he should be financially responsible for a child, he claims, he was tricked into fathering.
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox is firing back against Matt Dubay.
The main issue is obligation. Cox says it's a parent's obligation to support their children.
Matt Dubay says he never wanted the child, therefore he shouldn't be financially responsible.
The lawsuit filed by Dubay claims Michigan's paternity law is unconstitutional because the father is compelled to pay child support, even if he didn't want the child to be born.
Dubay says he was tricked, because his ex-girlfriend, Lauren Wells, also of Saginaw Township, told him she was unable to get pregnant due to a medical condition.
When she became pregnant, he didn't feel he should have to pay child support for an unwanted pregnancy.
The case has made its way to the U.S. District Court.
The court will today hear arguments from Attorney General Mike Cox, who believes parents have an obligation to support their children.
Supporters have been lining up on both sides of the fence in this case.
Saginaw County Prosecutor Mike Thomas has supports the Attorney General's position. He too has been named a defendant.
Meanwhile, The National Center For Men is backing Matt Dubay in this fight

Mommy's little secret
The article contains info about children's identity fraud at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
December 14, 2002.
Includes interview with employees of Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario, Canada who admit they deny children's identity information to husbands/male partners of mothers who want to hide the real identity of their child because they had an affair. The U.N. Convention on the Rights of The Child specifically supports a child's human right to have a relationship with both his/her biological parents. In addition, this article is proof that The Hospital for Sick Children ("Sick Kids") supports paternity fraud.
Further "Sick Kids" supports a mother's rights only, which they view, supersedes 3 other people's rights, namely, the rights of the biological father, the rights of the mother's male partner/husband and the child's identity rights.

BEAUTIFUL women who have affairs can now blame it on their sex hormones.
Women with higher levels of oestradiol, a form of oestrogen, not only look and feel more attractive, they are also more likely to cheat on their partners, a new study has found.
One-night-stands are not what interest these flirtatious females, who tend to have bigger breasts, relatively small waists and symmetrical faces as a result of their high levels of oestradiol.
Rather, they adopt a strategy of serial monogamy, say the researchers, led by Kristina Durante of the University of Texas.
Paternity fraud: Is it or should it be a criminal offence under the Criminal Code of Canada?
You be the judge.
Who Knows Father Best?
Feminist organizations including the National Organization of Women (NOW) has objected to legislation that requires the courts to vacate paternity judgments against men who arent, in fact, the father.
Think about that. NOW wants some man, any man, to make child support payments. The woman who doesnt even know who the father is, should not be held responsible for her actions, is a sweet, loving, blameless mother who seeks only to care for her child and if naming some schmuck as father who never saw her before in his life helps her provide for the innocent babe, well then, that's fine.
Innocence is no excuse. Pay up. Read More ..
