Deadbeat birth fathers did exist and will continue to do so even after paternity is proven true. It's only recently that women have been exercising their rights to sue for financial support. The women aren't getting much money after the state takes their cut.
Prior to Roe v. Wade and the widespread distribution of birth control for women,there were "homes" set up across the country where unwed pregnant women and girls were sent off to give birth and give up the baby for adoption. The birth father was either out of the picture or marriage was not a option. The stigma was that they had "loose" morals. They certainly didn't get that way by themselves.
If we are going to be "pro-life" then more than abstinence needs to be included in sex education. An unwanted pregmancy isn't the only thing that can result in unprotected sex. It's not like mr. happy changes colors if he has a std.
