[QUOTE="BluelEyedSoulJim, post: 3273620, member: 142471"] No, but your objection to taxes being used to support a single mother seems to be that people would be paying for a child they don't know and have no responsibility for. That applies to people who's health I contribute to helping. Plus this isn't a question of impregnating the woman but of helping the upkeep of the child, presumably to keep them in good health through food, clothing etc. Whereas I think the decent thing to do is to not force someone into having a parenting role (I know paying money isn't parenting but I can't think of a better word) when they don't want one. Presumably if you plan to have a baby then there's various things you discuss with your partner before trying to have one, finances I would hope are one of the topics. If you've been told by whoever impregnated you that they have no interest in a child and you have it anyway then that is your own choice. You were aware of the situation long before you ended up there and had options to avoid it. I don't see why not. Could easily use the same argument to get rid of adoption. [/QUOTE]
