If a man gets raped by a woman who then chooses to have his baby, is he required to care for the child in any way, e.g. financially?

Even than yes, that are the rules and you can't change them.

Yes. It's no different than if a woman has a baby after being raped, she too is required to care for the child and provide for it financially. You may point to that she has the option of getting an abortion, but for many women, that's not an option they acknowledge, and besides that, the choice of abortion is legally irrelevant once the child is born. That's because once the child is born, it's not about the mother's rights or the father's rights. It's about the child's rights. The circumstances of the child's birth are not the child's fault. In the law, children do not have to meet some worthiness test to be entitled to have both of their parents care for them and provide for them. Even if a parent asks that their parental rights be terminated, that does not terminate the child's rights. Are the circumstances unfortunate, even tragic? Yes. But that does not mitigate a child's legal rights to his or her parents and to be cared for and provided for by them.

Practically speaking, your question is irrelevant. It's entirely theoretical. If it isn't proven that he was raped by her, then there'd be not even a theoretical basis under which he maybe shouldn't have to pay support. If it is proven, then she's going to prison, in which case the state would go to the father and ask him to take the child. If he did not, if he refused, if he said he wanted nothing to do with the child and signed to have his parental rights terminated, with the mother in prison for however many years, the infant would go into foster care and then up for adoption. The government does not make parents pay child support for children in foster care, and when a child is adopted, the adoptive parents names go on the birth certificate and replace the names of the biological parents, so the child's rights transfer to the adoptive parents and away from the biological parents.

Basically, you're just some repugnant misogynist who's trying to argue some pie-in-the-sky hypothetical scenario to try and gain some justification for fathers not having to pay child support when the mother of the kids they father don't get abortions.

Yes. In the UK estimates approximate 50%.

First of all, he has to prove that she raped him, resulting in the subsequent pregnancy. I am not so sure he would be responsible for the baby because it was conceived against his will, if that can be proven in court and she is actually arrested for rape in the first place.

Women have rape babies all the time, so perhaps if there is a case that has already been heard on the Supreme Court level, then it would also apply for men in the same position. You would have to get a lawyer to check the legalities of this situation.

If I were the man, I would forever fight such an injustice..........or TAKE CUSTODY of my baby and charge HER for child support. It works two ways........

OR, when she is in jail for rape, put the child up for adoption.

Probably have to pay child support, unless perhaps he could prove it was rape.

Unfortunately at least in the U.S. the answer is yes, eventually this probably will be addressed as it has been done in other countries.
