If the mother can't afford to feed, house, clothe and provide medical care to the child, society has to. Why should society have to pay for a dead beat dad's responsibility?

Like men haven't been abandoning their kids and families since forever.
No not all men but they sure don't need an excuse like this to do it.
And the kids they abandon, those mothers decided not to get abortions.

Legally the responsibility begins at Childbirth.
A woman can not demand the biological father pay for abortion or prenatal care or even delivery.

Because she is having to pay an insane amount into childcare
Because the kid isnt the healthiest kid and she has to leave work often when the school calls for her to pick them up
Because that sick kids disrupts her sleep often resulting in her being a zombie at work
Because, even if the mother doesnt have problems like these, the employer expects them and will conclude there is a reason to think her work wont be as valuable as a father or a childless women..
However, this is how our world operates these days. (forgive my sexist language to come, I hope it isn't too disturbing to young progressives) The woman has a choice and then says it is her right to force a man to financially care for her choice and she can not survive without a man taking care of her and her choice This is the most UN-feminist, un-progressive, il-liberal, view I have heard, and it reeks of gender inequality.
