OK, then have the child taken at birth, put up for adoption, and have BOTH biological parents assessed EQUALLY for child support, with full enforcement mechanisms.
My point is that any measures to discourage premarital pregnancy WILL NOT WORK, unless the woman gets hit TOO.
Your suggestion would work for THAT problem, but it would create another problem. It would require a police state to confiscate the child and enlarge the government bureaucracy to collect support money and oversee the adoptions.
I thought conservatives were against big government solutions like that?
The solutions to my mind have to be cultural. Children have to stop being considered a waste product of sex, or at best a nuisance outcome of sex.
And if you don’t want children, biology being what it is, the onus is on the adults to take measures (even drastic measures like sterilization) to prevent that from happening.
The responsibility and repercussions cannot logically and morally be on the child because they don’t have the capacity to prevent their own creation.
The only logical solution is to promote personal sexual responsibility of ADULTS. Both men and women.
