So you think the current system of letting tom cat boys get off scott free is a good one? IF they had some sort of consequence for impregnating a girl, might they figure out such activity is not really in their best interest?
To answer your other post, abolishing all welfare would leave those who are actually helpless and not just shiftless in peril. Let’s face it, we cannot afford to support an ever-expanding welfare class any more. Cuts are coming as the economy weakens.
It is not a matter of either...
a) conscript unwed fathers into the military or force them to get married.
Or
b) let them off “scott free”.
Your “solution” would weaken both marriage and our military.
Please think through the consequences of your policy prescriptions.
In the final analysis, it is the girl who decides whether to spread her legs or not.
We DO have consequences. Guys can get hit for child support payments, with jail penalties for refusal to pay. What is the net result? Girls get knocked up by low-level thugs who are judgment-proof, who have no "visible" jobs whose salaries can be garnished, who have no fixed address, and whose real legal name may not even be known by the girl. The net result of all these penalties is to scare off people with something to lose, in favor of gang-bangers who do not give a damn about any penalties you might try to impose on them.
