I am blissfully unaware of the Baldwin's family dynamics, but I can easily come up with some reasons why Uncle Stephen may have not helped out with the sprog.

Well, for your information, Stephen Baldwin has been making headlines again in recent days for his unbelievable devotion to Jesus and the Christian creed.

Stephen Baldwin on walking away from Hollywood: ‘Jesus fascinated me’

Stephen Baldwin, a member of the famous acting dynasty that took America by storm in the 1980s, says he made a conscious choice to walk away from Hollywood after embracing Christianity and embarking on a life devoted to God, his family and service to the community.

“I probably could have pointed myself in the direction of becoming a big star,” Baldwin told People. “But that wasn’t me. I didn’t want to be Tom Cruise, and have to make $100 million at the box office. I’d rather be a schmuck from Massapequa!”

You see how he professes his devotion to his family, but it's obvious those are just empty words.

Not to mention the bigger tragedy which is that Jesus took away from us "Bio-Dome 2."

He may have had a falling out with his niece. He may have offered help and she refused. He may not have known she was pregnant. Or a number of other reasons that make him less of a hypocrite than you seem to want to paint him.

And 'devotion to family' generally means immediate family, not extended family.

He may have had a falling out with his niece.

Then that's not very Christian of him.

He may have offered help and she refused.

Maybe, but she seemed open to getting help, so if he were enthusiastic enough about it, as he is for telling everyone that he's a Christian, he might have very well succeeded.

He may not have known she was pregnant.

Then it shows that he's not a very warm/nice person that his niece doesn't want to confide in (while she has no problem talking to a reporter/stranger).

Or a number of other reasons that make him less of a hypocrite than you seem to want to paint him.

And what do you call a guy who claims that he could have easily been in the same rank as Tom Cruise when he was barely a recognizable face starring in irrelevant movies? The only movie of his worth mentioning was The Usual Suspects, which was a vehicle for Kevin Spacey, while he was forgettable. Tom Cruise never starred in a vehicle for someone else.

Oh look what popped up in my browser:

Celebrities Who Have Shared Their Abortion Stories to Help Women Feel Less Alone

I guess this story drew my attention:

Ireland Baldwin

Baldwin said, she got pregnant unexpectedly with her boyfriend at the time, whom she was “very unhappy” with, “and he made it pretty clear that he never wanted kids or marriage. He barely wanted to be in a serious relationship.”

“I chose to get an abortion because I know exactly what it felt like to be born between two people who hated each other,” she shared.

Baldwin said “maybe, maybe not” when addressing whether she could have had the baby and put him or her up for adoption, “But choosing to raise a baby without my own financial security, without a loving and supportive partner, that wasn’t gonna work for me.”

What, she didn't have financial security to raise the kid? But couldn't her uncle, Stephen Baldwin, the born-again Christian who is a staunch opponent of abortion, help her out? I mean, how does one get to be fanatically against abortion and yet not even be willing to help his niece with emotional support, babysitting, and baby bills?

Ireland Baldwin didn't require her uncle's help making HER decision.  You are in the group that wants to make abortion about what a man thinks about it.  One of your dumbest stances.

1. How is it not Christian of his? Christianity has a long and noble history of falling out with people with whom they disagree.

2. That sounds like you think he should have paid her to have the baby. I find that reprehensible.

3. She spoke to the reported long after the fact. If Baldwin didn’t know his niece was up the spout, that’s on her. Nothing to do with whether he was a warm and caring person.

4. That’s not hypocrisy, that’s egotism.
