Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health (I chose a condom as the form of contraception so that there was no chance of the woman lying about birth control in order to get pregnant. Assume that the condom had not been tampered with and it did not break, but somehow she still got pregnant).
So one night stand with a stranger. Woman gets pregnant despite using protection. He's the only possible father and she's willing to take a paternity test. She decides to keep the baby because she is against abortion and she doesn't feel she can go through with adoption. Her income isn't very high, though, and her family isn't willing to help her with the child. She feels bad "trapping" the guy over a simple mistake, but she doesn't think she has any other options. Should she pursue child support from the father, or would that be unfair? And what matters more: the father's right to choose what to do with his money, or the child's need to be provided for?
If a girl gets pregnant from a one night stand (assume they used a condom) then should the guy pay child support?

What Girls & Guys Said
7 22He should pay child support up to the cost of an abortion.
If he don't want to pay, he shouldn't be forced to. If the girl can't substain the child and the guy don't want to be responsible, just have an aborption.
So you wouldn’t want to pay to keep food in your kids mouth? Why can’t people take responsibility for their actions. You and the girl do know that condoms sometimes don’t work yet you still decided to have sex so now you need to take responsibility. It’s sad because many men in the us knock up a girl and then don’t give a shit about the kid they helped create. It’s your kid and looking after a kid, your kid is so important. How would you feel if you knew your dad never wanted to pay child support and left your mom struggling?
The child is not intended. The man has the right to choose for aborption. Aborption exist for good reasons. My dad took care of my sister and me while we were young, my mom never lifted a finger to pay pension or make procedures to transfer governemental childcare allocation to my dad. Womens are not all saints like the fckin christ, you have no legitimacy to give me lessons.
So at if it’s not intended. I don’t believe in abortion so I’d never get one. If I got knocked up and the guy never wanted to pay then it just shows what type of man he is. My dad never wanted to pay for child support even though he had myself and my siblings while my parents were married. I hate the man now because we struggled a lot and he never cared about us. Not all women are saints but there are some who are! Fuck some women want to try so hard to make things right and at least if I got pregnant I’d never spend money on myself because the kids are the future. I can’t comprehend how guys can feel fine and go on with life while they know their kid is struggling. As to women who get abortions, I don’t support them one bit and I think they should take responsibility
But if the girl you knocked up did take responsibility and you still don’t want to then it really does show what type of man you are
Yes im the type of men that doesn't approve slavery. Just because a men fck a girl doesn't he owe her. Also because you don't approve aborption it doesn't mean that the child should prevail over the quality of life of the men. Why don't women take the responsibility to threat men with respect, not like a paycheck with 2 legs. I saw in statistics that over 50% of marriage end by a divorce. Most of the time men is the one to pay and a lot of them end up losing everything they have to a woman. Don't wonder why some men hate women knowing this.
The money you give for child support isn’t for the mother it’s for the kid. So the person you’re not wanting to care for is your kid. But then again we can’t force you to pay so if the man knocked up the girl and just left without even considering child support then I’d just feel sorry my kid has an unloving father who is an asshole for not wanting to even bother helping out. As for the marriage things, if I wanted a divorce then I’d pay for it myself.
I can't have a debate with you, you just rejected the idea that the men can refuse to have the child. You didn't even consider a second that men have the right and not the obligation to be a father, its awful. Shaming tactics are one of the many way women use to manipulate men, it won't work on me and more men each days are aware of it. Also women can easily pierce a hole in the condom and use the men as a paycheck. I heard this story from countless of men's. One more thing, nobody is watching how the money is spent, neither if the ammount of money given is realistic. I hope you never find a husband for such belief, i can't stand that hypocrisy. Im done with you adios.
Well I personally think it would be disgusting if women put holes in condemns and then have a kid just for money. Some women actually spend that money on their kid and don’t spend it on themselves or other things. It’s why it’s called child support, it’s for the child. I’d just want nothing but the best for my kid even if that means giving up my things. So many men just assume things about women but don’t realise that not all women are like that. If I fell pregnant with someone kid then yes I’d hope the father would give child support which I’d use solely on my kid and give the father custody of the kid, not full custody since I’d want o have my kid too. I don’t believe in abortion, it’s murder so yes I’d definitely keep the kid and if the father doesn’t want to pay for the kid then oh well that’s just sad. I’d still let the man see his kid even if he didn’t pay child support
I’d just think the man would think about helping out since things for your kid isn’t cheap
My step dad isn’t even my real dad obviously but he still helped my mother out and he treated us like we were his kids because he wanted to and he knew we never had a dad who cared or paid for us. He isn’t a step dad, he’s the dad that stepped up
No, he should not be forced to pay child support any more than a woman should be forced to have (or not have) an abortion. Women have a choice and so should men. If she didn't want to face this choice she should not have had sex. But since it happened, they BOTH should have a choice in the matter. Anything else is pure sexism.
