And, maybe a baby will keep some men close to home (unmarried situations), but it too is not a sure thing.

(9,426 posts)If the woman wants an abortion, let the father pledge to raise the child himself. That would cut down considerably on pre-marital unprotected sex. Identify the father.

(34,133 posts)Lack of child support and other support programs forces some onto public assistance, increasing the burden on taxpayers:
About 68.5 percent of the $32.9 billion in child support due in 2013 was reported as received, averaging $3,950 per year per custodial parent who was due support.
About three-quarters (74.1 percent) of custodial parents who were due child support in 2013 received either full or partial payments and less than half (45.6 percent) received full payments.

In 2013, 5.7 million custodial parents who were due child support under the terms of agreements or current awards were due an average of $4,370; an aggregate of $32.9 billion in payments due.

If fathers had to pay the full cost of their children, they might be more care where they leave their sperm.

(37,648 posts)abortion laws won't do that, because men don't have abortions. But there ARE laws that require the fathers to pay child support. Although I learned recently that men don't have to pay half the pregnancy & birth medical bills, which needs to be changed. Of COURSE they should be legally required to pay half.

(17,276 posts)It is their responsibility entirely. Nobody is forcing them to have sex with a woman. And there is plenty of evidence that women are often coerced or forced into having sex with them.
If the men don't want to pony up for consequences, let them abstain!
