Not just “moral message”, also law in most of the West. After ejaculation, men have no more legal right about what happens with their sperm and resulting fetus

  Or even before in some cases. In the United States a woman has raped a male child and then later successfully sued that boy for child support when he reached adulthood. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/02/statutory-rape-victim-child-support/14953965/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/02/statut...

    "now 24 and living in Phoenix, graduated from high school, went to college and became a medical assistant. "Then two years ago, the state served him with papers demanding child support. That's how he found out he had a then-6-year-old daughter." 24-2-6-9months seems to indicate he was at least 15 when the relevant sex happened and then it would have been legally consented. Also he wants to take up fatherhood(and he never pressed charges against her), so this case is not as simple as you stated. Otherwise it is quite ridiculous and outrageous, that there are really 2 standards when it comes to sex with minors and the consequences.

      I wouldn't assume the "two years" and "six years old" statements are exact measurements.

  This view is so wrong on the facts, it is dangerous in large numbers.

    This isn't a view, I'm stating facts / describing reality. I personally disagree with this state of affairs. Edit: from Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm_theft https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm_theft > In most jurisdictions, sperm theft is not illegal and usually has little bearing on issues like child support.

      I do not think it is an accurate description of facts or legal reality. Telling people who might just believe you stuff like that can be needlessly inflammatory.

      re: sperm theft is that a real social problem or a corner case?
