Bringing a child into the world w/o a father IS selfish, clearly they care more about themselves than they do the child

What if the father bolts during pregnancy? The woman carrying the child to term is "selfish"? That's a new one.

Then he should be tracked down and hunted like the dog he is.

Now that's an incredible stretch. Sort of like equating tripping down the stairs with pushing someone down the stairs.

When did we lose the capacity to argue rationally without appeal to irrelevant, emotional side issues?

When did we lose the ability to distinguish between circumstance beyond one's control and one's own life decisions?

Yes, some children have no fathers, through no fault of their own nor of their mother. This is not the same thing as making a conscious, premeditated decision to deliberately, on purpose, bring a fatherless child into the world.

People get hit by buses all the time. That doesn't make it right to push someone in front of one.
