But that should be only in the case of a legal marriage.
Else let's get rid of legalized marriage, as there is no reason for it.
What--did you think the state married people out of sentimentality?
Any woman fool enough to make a child out of wedlock, the father(s) should be free of any responsibility.
or...why not...?
Any MAN fool enough to make a child out of wedlock should be held as equally responsible for that child's welfare as the mother.
The priority is not the FOOLS' rights, it's the children's rights... they weren't involved in this stupid decision making process.
Marriage and the creation of a child are not, nor have ever been, nor will ever be, mutually exclusive. However the responsibilty to the child remains regardless of the standing of the parents...
"Any woman fool enough to make a child out of wedlock, the father(s) should be free of any responsibility. "
You obviously believe that if a woman's pregnant it "her fault" and that the man has no responsibility....guess the little woman deserved it in your world....Oh wait...I forgot the child....oh never mind...let's not bother ourselves with those little trivialities...
NeverGore :^)
Why punish the child for a dance that requires 2 people? You do realize there are many, MANY children born out of wedlock during relationships. And what about single mothers (and fathers) who are abandoned by the other parent? You speak with such a broad generality when in fact, you know that almost every circumstance is different.
You preach a pollyannish line, but it simply isn't reality- as sad as it is.
