There is a concept that he needs an attorney even if he lives up to the responsibility to the child. Meeting responsibility means having the ability to provide, I cannot see how it means simply accepting any and all terms that this equally morally miniscule girl may dictate.
I’m with you. But, I have sons. A boy working at the corner market can not pay the consequences in coins.
They better think of something else. Fast.
If girl-momma can not financially afford the consequences either, then adoption is the only answer I can think of.
Even cavemen had to know that offspring come from the mother, are suckled by the mother, so as her stake is greater, perhaps we could discuss the possibility that her responsibility and her unfortunate consequences are naturally going to be greater. Hmmm?
Women, about men, are trying to throw their weight around to make all things, all the time, in every circumstance, equal.
It seems to me that one of the aims of the law should be to maintain mother-child and father-child bonds, since that is what the child needs. Whether "law" can do that or not --- or to what extent --- I do not know.
All the boy has expressed an interest in, in his short communication, is (1)eliminating the child, or (2) eliminating his paternal responsibility. He would presumably want his lawyer to try to accomplish one or the other.
I’m with you. But, I have sons. A boy working at the corner market can not pay the consequences, at least in coins. Forget about it.

If girl-momma can not financially afford the coin and the consequences either, then on that one point all things are equal. Adoption is the only answer I can think of.

(Women have the legal system, the choices, except when they don’t want to make one. Nathan, you are so right.)
Women, about men, are trying to throw their weight around to make all things, all the time, in every circumstance, equal, when nature is screaming that they are not. Here, we have a boy unable to do anything. It’s the girl in the driver’s seat, on the abortion, adoption, on lawyering up, on raising baby, or not. The boy is made a burro for her choices, whatever they may be.
I fault the boy and the girl for considerations of abortion.
Sorry for the double post. I took a call, kept typing, and like an airhead, kept posting. Eek!
