So why should the woman be the only one who has to take responsibility? It takes two to tango, and if you're going to have the fun of making the baby, you should have the work of taking responsibility as well.

Adoption is a completely viable option, but it has a vicious stigma, whereas being a single mother is turned into a thing of pride, which it totally shouldn't be.

Perhaps if the men started taking their responsibilities, there wouldn't be so many single mothers out there, hm? Why should a woman be forced to give up her child merely because the father decides he doesn't feel like doing his part?
Not all single mothers are welfare deadbeats. Some are divorced, some were abandoned, etc. If she IS on birth control, and accidentally gets pregnant, then it's not like she didn't take precautions.
Everyone knows how I feel about people breeding out of control. I don't like the idea of women who keep having kids just to get more money out of the system. These are the women I think this offer should apply equally to, as well as drug addicts and abusers of both sexes.
However, apart from that, it's not only the woman's responsibility. She can't make the baby by herself. The simple fact is, you wanna play, you should be prepared to pay. Why make the child suffer?
