"I don't know about this particular man's case..." followed by "He irresponsibly had a child...." [emphasis added]

Do you even read your own writing from one paragraph to the next?

How in the fuck do you have any clue whatsoever about what happened to "this guy" before and at the time he had his child?

The only "entitlement" here is you making really amazing, shitty assumptions. Over and over.

Do you even use any semblance of common sense? Even if his daughter was one of the 5% of pregnancies that resulted from failure of contraception, the mother should have gotten an abortion. Not all pregnancies have to result in a birth.

Regardless, my argument isn't specific to this individual. On the whole, 95% of unwanted pregnancies are the result of irresponsibility. And over and over, we see articles like this one about people who have children when they're too young to financially support them and then complain about how they're not getting paid more. That is entitlement.

Regardless of what "happened to" him, he shouldn't have impregnated a woman at the age of 20, and stopped the birth if it happened on accident. That much is clear.
