Ding ding ding, we have a winner! Any woman who gets pregnant while unmarried, unless she was raped, should have no expectation of child support. It will not happen in this country, but it would solve the problem toot sweet.

This USED to be the case, but starting in 1968, a series of Supreme Court cases invalidated treating illegitimate children differently from children born in marriage, and mandated that illegitimate children had the same right to child support.

Illegitimate births rose from that point.

Children have the same right to be supported by both parents. There are no distinctions because from the point of view of the child, he/she is not the one responsible for existing.

Segregating children by something that is beyond their responsibility is how we get to the point of some children being deemed having a right to live and some not.

We’re back full circle to making the child pay the price for the one or both parents abdicating personal responsibility.

Apparently, that is still all that matters (that adults get the option to abdicate responsibility). This is exactly how we arrived at the culture of abortion in the first place.
