This isnt my cup of tea.

However my first thought was isnt it nice that high end sperm donors are spreading it around instead of the usual low end low lifes.

[Travis McGee]

Pity the poor, lost, fatherless children.

It’s a sad, sad story for them.

[sodpoodle]

Sorry for not adding:

“women who are cavalier about aborting their ‘unplanned’ pregnancies are even more reprehensible than the naive men who impregnate them without considering the possibility of a son or daughter being aborted or worse, abused by a ‘new boyfried.”

[philman_36]

A man & women should marry until death, in order to raise children of that marriage together.
That's pure idealism. Reality often gets in the way as even you note with your "should".
What if staying married does more harm than good for a family? Will the children benefit if the parents are constantly arguing and bickering or if relationships devolve to something like alcohol or drug abuse?

Even the Bible gives recourse to divorce. Pigeonholing doesn't work.

[philman_36]

...than the naive men who...
You're doing it again. Despite your nay saying and flowery words why do you keep laying this at the feet of men? Your own words betray you.

[philman_36]

...abused by a ‘new boyfried.”
As if a woman's 'new girlfriend' couldn't abuse them just as easily?
Your own words betraying you, as I said.

Young man in my family...

And so one young person's mistakes made you so jaded towards men in general? I'm not buying it.

And in all likelihood those children all live in the same geographic area. I wonder what the odds are of two of them meeting and, not knowing that they're half-siblings, ending up in a relationship that results in marriage?

I have wondered the same thing. What a mess.

“And in all likelihood those children all live in the same geographic area. I wonder what the odds are of two of them meeting and, not knowing that they’re half-siblings, ending up in a relationship that results in marriage?”

I’ve often thought that this is most likely the case with welfare babies as well. Gubmint becomes the daddy, and the so-called men who sire multiple children on multiple welfare queens are not held responsible...(more cash for the mamas). I wonder what the results of an epidemiological study - looking for birth defects - would be in the high-welfare areas...

Probably no one wants to look.

[Kenton]

Wow. And I sold blood when I was in college.

[Girlene]

Pakistanis have high rates of marriages/births between first cousins. Consequently, birth defects are also high. From Birth defects warning sparks row

..........."Research for BBC2's Newsnight in November 2005 showed British Pakistanis accounted for 3.4% of all births but have 30% of all British children with "recessive disorders". "

The perils of turning pro and a testament to keeping your amateur status.

You are deliberately twisting my comments to fit your own jaded mindset.

The young man in my family is devastated by the loss of contact with his child. He and his daughter are victims of a controlling young woman - who appears to believe that she (because she gave birth) should be the custodial parent.

Traditional religious-based, social norms of virginity before marriage and fidelity afterwards were demonstrably superior to what passes as socially acceptable behavior today.

EXACTLY my reaction. And the Godless libs will wonder why there are so many mentally ill children.

[newzjunkey]

I think the real issue in that story was the treatment of the wife and the husbands refusal to let her have a child, not the spilling of seed per se.

One note on the Onan story, that "wife" you speak of was his brother's widow and under Law he owed her a child that would be called his brother's. He was struck down for repeated disobedience because any child with her would not be known as his.

***Traditional religious-based, social norms of virginity before marriage and fidelity afterwards were demonstrably superior to what passes as socially acceptable behavior today.***

TOTALLY AGREE!

[US Navy Vet]

“Sarah directed Abraham to father a child via Hagar, the maid-servant” and WHAT a mistake THAT was.

[philman_36]

You are deliberately twisting my comments to fit your own jaded mindset.
I'm not twisting anything. Your words speak volumes on their own.

The young man in my family is devastated by the loss of contact with his child.
Well he's obviously, to use your words, just a naive man who impregnated her without considering the possibility that she might run off with his child.

Traditional religious-based, social norms of virginity before marriage and fidelity afterwards were demonstrably superior to what passes as socially acceptable behavior today.
The concept sure does. Pure Norman Rockwell.

Real life, however, isn't a portrait. It's messy, dirty and has never been the idealized world you're trying to make it seem with your quaint depiction.

[philman_36]

...and WHAT a mistake THAT was.
The direct cause of the Arab-Israeli conflict of today.
