A man's right to choose

EARLIER THIS MONTH, a 25-year-old Michigan computer programmer named Matthew Dubay sued in federal court to avoid paying child support for his 7-month-old daughter. The girl's mother, he alleges, had claimed to be both infertile and on birth control, and he had made it clear all along that he didn't want children. The resulting pregnancy, as he saw it, was simply not his fault, and the child not in any way his responsibility.
It's a common enough situation, but the National Center for Men, a New York-based advocacy group that is coordinating and paying for the lawsuit, claims to have waited years for a plaintiff as compelling as Dubay. The Center has labeled (and, incidentally, trademarked) the case ''Roe v. Wade for Men."
