Too many of you want to assign responsibility and consequences to either the man or the woman for unwanted pregnancies that result from dishonest relationships. The truth is that life doesn’t work that way. Both must assume some responsibility for their freely chosen actions. Both must suffer some consequences. It doesn’t matter if one or both lied. Men and women often lie to each other in irresponsible sexual relationships. Those who think otherwise are just being naive. Finger pointing and the blame game don’t resolve anything. Taking personal responsibility along with the associated painful consequences is the only just outcome for the children that result from such circumstances.
