Best thing to do is cancel Medicaid ENTIRELY.
Let people figure out in advance how they will pay for a child -- before they get the process started.

That's the answer.

Saying "It takes two to make a baby" isn't realistic, only the woman has control over her fertility. If she is unmarried and wants a baby she should plan to pay for it, unless the man is committed to sharing the responsibility.

If she and any family that she has cannot or will not support he baby, she can seek private charity, but should have no right or expectations that the taxpayer is going to be responsible to give her an income, an apartment, furnishings, clothing, food, a color TV, health care, etc. If the child is being deprived of the bare necessities of life, then the state may have to place the child elsewhere. It would not take long for young women to make much more responsible decisions.

So...the man has no responsibility?

Do have any daughters, and have you had this conversation with them? Would you be as sanguine if one of them got pregnant and the father - or, in terms, teh sperm donor - fled the scene?

Yup....what YOU said......plus, women should choose their fathers VERY carefully.....any guy who doesn't want to help PAY for the birth, ain't worth making a baby with.....It used to be women looked for men who could support them, and their progeny.....now, they think women's lib means have a baby and figure out how to get US to pay the bills. Something is terribly wrong with THIS picture.

The man does have a choice and responsibility in this decision. He can put on a condom, every time! Don’t take for granted that the woman is telling the truth about using birth control.

A number of woman say they want there “bad boy”. So they get want they want then complain.
