It is unfortunate that most threads on DR1 get hijacked and end up nothing more than mindless dribble between a couple of grumpy old men.I am truly sorry that my thread has deteriorated
I think some here missed the intent of my initial question but by now it has been answered. Let me summarize what I gleaned from the various responses.
-There are some fathers that take responsibility for their children and some who do not. Just like in other countries of the world.
But my question is, why do so many DR women allow themselves to become pregnant without FIRST being married to the man that fathers their children.
That is the essence of my question and lack of understanding.
My best guess as to why there are so many single moms here is that they are very poorly educated, birth control is almost nonexistent and the mention of abortion brings every fear mongering goof out of the wood work. That is my best guess.
