What if he does that to 15 or 20 women? 100 women? If he has no culpability at all to be responsible for the children he creates, then what's to stop him from running around and fulfilling his biological desire to maximize his reproductive opportunities?
Women are biologically inclined to want to have babies (at least I am once a month when I ovulate), and the big thing that prevents me from having a dozen babies is the time and money I'm not willing to freely invest in them. Women are flooded with hormones to make them bond with the growing fetuses in their wombs, so once they find out they're pregnant, they're already under the influence of some powerful hormones biologically designed to sabotage what may have been their previous desire to remain childless. -Adding to that, women do not get unlimited abortions without impacting their future fertility and chance of successfully carrying a baby to term when they're ready to have one. We don't just get to make 100 babies and terminate them all and expect that our bodies will recover each and every time. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/articl...ncies.html
Men are affected by no such hormonal change and their biological drive to reproduce will no longer be tempered by a dose of reality by having to be responsible for the lives they create.
From the King and I:
A girl must be like a blossom
With honey for just one man.
A man must be like honey bee
And gather all he can.
To fly from blossom to blossom
A honey bee must be free,
But blossom must not ever fly
From bee to bee to bee.
Hmmmm, after thought. Who pays for the kids of the women who don't happen to be higher powered CEO's who can afford nannies and house keepers? If the mother gets knocked up by 5 different guys, and none of them are paying for their children or helping her in anyway, it seems to me that the bill is getting footed by the tax payers, because right or wrong, we're not going to let the children suffer from the selfish idiocy of their parents.
What if he does? Each of those women will have plenty of options to choose for themselves. I really don't think anyone should be having kids they didn't specifically plan for, but that's just my opinion.
