This is disgraceful

Not surprising, mind you, just disgraceful. When are our civil masters going to learn that a penis doesn't necessarily equal deep pockets and bad parenting skills?

I've been on the losing end of a custody battle, and I've seen worse happen to other men. Unless you can afford much better lawyers than the ex, you're going to lose based on the presence of a Y chromosome. And merely asking a court for justice will probably cripple you financially. A vindictive woman with a judge on her side has no more restraint than a shark in blood-soaked waters.

Besides the religious and moral reasons, this is an eminently practical reason to keep the ol' zipper closed until you're permanently married. You have to ask yourself: "Would I trust this woman with uncontrolled access to my bank account?" Because if she gets pregnant, you might as well have handed it to her.
