Where are the rules for the men? Women aren’t getting pregnant through immaculate conception. You know what I wanna see? I wanna see them even up the responsibility for safeguarding this precious child’s life even more, so how about we come up with some equally draconian rules for men?

Let’s exclude men who’ve raped or committed incest, but force ALL other men who get a woman pregnant to marry her and financially provide for her & the child until the child is 18. Should the child wish to attend college, then the father’s responsibility will extend until said offspring has completed his/her course of study and obtained a degree, regardless of how long it takes.

Divorce or separation will be prohibited for the duration. Refusal to marry the woman, dereliction of duty/support, attempts to separate, or getting caught committing adultery will all result in the man landing in jail on felony charges.

I thought that right now, except for the getting married part, if you get a woman pregnant, and she carries to term, you are providing child support and college support—if she goes to court, that is. It’s not automatic. I knew a woman years ago whose ex-boyfriend strung her along just until he could get out of country to his job in Thailand, where she couldn’t sue.

Classy.
