Reads like it's very cut, dry, to the point for them, and with good reason. If you're not already married to the mother, you're just a sperm bank with legs, and I don't find that to be a particularly disagreeable assessment of such situations. If the unwed mother, i.e, irresponsible unrepentant slut/whore, believes for whatever reasons that she's incapable of caring for a child, or simply doesn't want to, doesn't want to apply the "abortion" option, and the sire isn't her husband, then by default neither is he. It's cold, but fair, because honestly if he was, they'd be married or otherwise worked out a legally binding arrangement beforehand and he'd have protections.

Sure, maybe some guys in this sort of situation have got a stable job, a safe home, and a stable support network to help them navigate being a single dad, but it's not unfair for strangers to dismiss that purely on the basis that if the guy actually was responsible, he'd have demonstrated greater discipline and control over his own virility.

They do not distinguish between wed and unwed parties. They do not mention marriage.
