“How about adults be responsible for the child they co-create?”
Sure, as long as there is equality under the law. Right now, women can choose on a whim to deny responsibility by aborting their child, or giving it up for adoption. Men have no equal choice in the matter, they are automatically put into a kind of indentured servitude if the woman decides to keep the baby.
I would rather everyone got married and stayed married and lived happily ever after, but that is not the world we are living in, and as long as it is not, there should still be some equal protection under the law.
Where is the ‘equality’ for the child?
I’ll answer. There is none. The child is trash either way, with or without abortion. A certain percentage of one or both parents just walked away before. Children lived short brutal lives of pain and hunger either on the streets or in orphanages/workhouses.
But as long as the adults don’t have to be inconvenienced, who cares?
You got it. Two things; why buy the cow if the milk is free? And, if you do decide to buy the cow it could cost you the farm.
