Alec Baldwin thought he was marrying an exotic young woman from Mallorca, Spain. She told him that her name was “Hillaria”, that she didn’t own a television, and she pretended that English wasn’t her first language. When they first met, she claimed that she had no idea who he was, and she asked him what he did for a living. He married her. They now have two young children.
Turns out, “Hillaria” was born and raised in Boston, to a family that has been in America since the Revolution. Her father went to Georgetown, and is a lawyer. Her mother is a professor at Harvard Medical School. Her real name is Hillary.
When I first heard about this, I laughed and laughed and laughed. It’s amazing what an accent can do. Hillary looks like the girl next door: she is no doubt cute, but would Alec Baldwin have married her without the accent, the exotic life story, and the feigned ignorance of who he was? Probably not. And that is just one sad aspect of an incredibly sad story. Hillary is plenty cute enough to have been able to marry any number of regular Joe type of guys: with her family history in Boston, it’s for sure she could have married a wealthy, upper class regular Joe. But No. She had to marry Alec Baldwin? Why? It is very sad to ever pretend to be someone you aren’t for any reason, but to do it in order to marry Alec Baldwin? Why?
And where have her parents and family been these past several years? Did she just drop them? To marry Alec Baldwin? Her parents must have been so worried about her. How could she do that?
When I first heard of this, I was laughing, but now I am on the verge of tears.

Women will use the womb to get what they want from men.

Of that, I am sure. But they cannot use their wombs to get what they want, that’s all I was saying, and I was joking anyway. Never mind 🙂

For a few years I’ve been thinking how unfair it is that, once a baby is conceived, the mom,and she alone, gets to choose whether to opt out of parenthood (abortion) or, as you say, to bear the child and hold the dad responsible for support for 18 years.
Shouldn’t dad get to have a say in whether the kid lives or dies? Like: no, you bear it, turn sole custody over to me the dad, and I will release you from any financial responsibility?
And shouldn’t dad get to opt out too, like: I want to abort this fetus, but if you don’t, fine, you bear it and you be solely responsible?
Except in cases of rape (actual forcible intercourse with some criminal, I mean, NOT just you changed your mind on the precipice of ejaculation) — surely there are TWO people equally responsible for conception?
The courts have focused on the great and disproportionate “burden” of pregnancy. BFD. It really doesn’t interfere with anything except maybe during the last 6 months, Maximum. It is nothing compared to 18 years!
But here’s the thing: you dont see or hear men getting all emo about the fetus on a personal level. Men who oppose abortion seem always to do it based on religious or other ideological principles. It’s never, “She’s killing MY baby!” And “pro-life” people never yell.”Dont kill HIS baby,” —it’s always :”Don’t kill YOUR baby!” which, you hafta admit, begs the response that it’s none of their business.
Men as a group just don’t seem to wanna change things, is my point. There are legal “projects” dedicated to men’s reproductive rights, and articles written—but they always seem to be by female attorneys.

No man should ever be forced into fatherhood, but by the same token, no woman should be forced into dealing with a man who is trying to force his way into fatherhood. Forget about DNA tests: the father is whoever freely signs the birth certificate with the mothers consent.
It has been obvious that many women do use the womb to get what they want out of men, and society shouldn’t support that, but DNA tests can work against women too. What if a woman is raped, but doesn’t report it, or doesnt succeed in proving it beyond a reasonable doubt? If she becomes pregnant, the rapist could claim the child through a DNA test.
We should be strengthening greatly the rights of fathers, but no man should ever become a father unless both he and the mother agree to it. If I were in charge, DNA tests would be out the window completely, unless a married man fears his wife has cheated on him and he wants to prove that he isnt the father.

Interestingly, in most if not all states there is a pretty much irrebuttable presumption that if a pregnant woman is married, the husband IS the father, period. Wait I think I remember it’s an evidentiary rule: NEITHER parent is competent to testify to bastardize the child. And I doesnt even matter if another man gets DNA test proof.
In fact, I was gonna write about this rule for my last article, but then the fortune telling statute idea got its hooks into me, and I forgot all about it…

Alec Baldwin was such an enigma to me- such a talented comedic actor (loved him in 30 Rock) but apparently a drunk and abuser of women. What a waste.

Yes he IS a great actor. I saw a few 30 Rocks, never a regular watcher…but movies like The Cooler, and that one a few years ago with Meryl Streep—he has terrific acting talent, though seems to be kinda a jerk IRL.

“For a few years I’ve been thinking how unfair it is that, once a baby is conceived, the mom,and she alone, gets to choose whether to opt out of parenthood (abortion) or, as you say, to bear the child and hold the dad responsible for support for 18 years.”
There are two points here:
1. I do think the mother gets a heavier influence in the abortion/ adoption matter because she carries, suffers through labor and to be frank, is the one “on call” for most of a young child’s life.
2.If the father is not a willing participant, I am torn here because to be frank, many women have sullied the motives of other expectant mothers by using a baby for status and monetary gain. We all know this happens quite promiscuously in professional sports and we should be realistic. Many men do not and will not take responsibility for birth control- fact of life, get over it- and women need (as the pro-choicers love to say) to take charge of their own bodies. I chose not to have children and took total responsibility for birth control and did not feel hostile about doing so. In fact, I trusted my ob-gyn more than anybody!
