Their lives should be as "ruined" as the mothers. They should be forced to provide support to their offspring and if they are unemployed, they should be literally put on work gangs (picking up trash on highways, cleaning graffitti, etc.) until they get regular jobs again.
Having no accountability for fathers is driving the problem of illegitimate children.
So many will kill you as soon as look at you. Look at that one guy in Pennsylvania who murdered his ex and four generations of her family. That was over child support, apparently.
actually I have observed an actual discouragement of informing fathers. There have been multiple cases of where the father is actually known but is never informed in order for an adoption lawyer to profit from the adoption process.
Feminists will tell young mothers a father is a hindrance not an asset. Asking for child support is to invite (gasp!) visitation demands and (double gasp!) shared parental responsibility. As opposed to complete control.
re: Having no accountability for fathers is driving the problem of illegitimate children.
So true. And the option of killing the baby in the first place through abortion diminishes the concept of accountability even further.
