Should a man be force/compelled to 'marry' a woman that he's 'accidentally' made pregnant ?

I don't think so. Since when has marriage had anything to do with being a parent? You can be a fantastic relationship partner but a completely shit parent, or a fantastic parent but completely shit at relationships.

I don't buy that there's any linking between 'christian values' and being married. Or being a parent.

But others may beg to differ.

He should be forced to financially help support his offspring or else

@NatureGuy77 Well ideally the man would do that selflesslessly and willingly but many would not. Marriage has nothing at all to do with supporting a child that a person creates with someone else.

@NatureGuy77 but it's a woman's responsibility not to let a man who wouldn't be willing to be a father impregnate her... having all the power during the pregnancy means you carry all the responsibility beforehand

@Rizzle420 Guys split and don’t live up to their responsibilities. It happens way to often.,

@NatureGuy77 then those are guys that shouldn't be getting laid... but just as there are men that will split there are women that choose an obviously unfit man to try and make a father out of and then act shocked when he bolts (and then expect my tax dollars to help support them)
