Father Leaving The Child

Decent Essays
The baby’s father could leave the relation ship forcing the mother to raise a child on her own. Often the fathers of the baby will leave the relation ship to avoid taking care of a child because they cant handle the responsibility. If the father leaves the mother will not only be forced to raise the child alone but the child will also grow up without a father. This can cause the child grief because not only does the child not know who his/her father is but he/she may never know who their true father is and this could affect their future in a negative way. The article supports this claim on the father leaving the child. This can also cause the mother to struggle on raising the child and she could have to put the child up for adoption and then

    No emergency room, insurance plan, schoolteacher, tax man, or judge will count you as essential to your child” (1). This is the slippery slope informal fallacy, meaning that one thing happens and it is just a non-stop snowball effect. This statement can also be classified as the Post Hoc fallacy. Because their rights to adopt were denied or revoked you can forget about all of the insurance plans, emergency room visits, etc. When looking at her works cited page, she does use a lot of bias sources.…

    Throughout the development of the child, the child has to establish a relationship with his “mother” and “mama”. The “mama” is usually the woman who raises and nurture the child, while the woman who birth the child is usually the mother. Therefore all parental rights and duties belong to women and her kin. Fathers usually have a choice on whether they want to claim the child or not. If they decide not to , then the father’s kin has an obligation to raise the child.…

    In "Fathering in America: What's a Dad Supposed to Do?," Marie Hartwell-Walker observes that no matter the kind of family situation children are in, fathers are a critical part of their child's lives. Walker displays the majority of how men can father their children, but there is so much more to the important role of being their father in the child's lives. Many have heard that having a strong male influence is important in a young boy's life, but it's equally important for a daughter to have one as well. Throughout the essay, Walker repeatedly notes that more fathers are absent for all or significant periods of time of their child's life. This can either be because the fathers are unable to provide for them financially, are prohibited from seeing them, or because their father's relationship with their mother didn’t go well.…

    Abortion is the planned termination of a human pregnancy. Several philosophers and activists have argued over if it is permissible. The author of A Defense of Abortion, Judith Jarvis Thomson, is correct about her argument that abortion is permissible even if the fetus is a person. This is because a woman’s right to bodily autonomy, which, combined with the woman’s own right to life, takes precedent over a fetus’s right to life. Even if people claim that she gave the fetus permission to be there, she should not be forced into going against her right to bodily autonomy.…

    The website stated that “ teenage girls with present fathers are then likely to become married and not complete college(http://www.nownys.org)” . I found this shocking mainly because if you read articles it would most likely state that it would be caused to those women not having fathers and that is what lead them to making such poor decisions. That then leads to the conversation of how growing up with a single parents comes up. There are some cases where children can grow up with a single parent and become very successful and then there are those who fall short and give up on themselves. After doing some research, I came across a book called, “Growing up with a Single Parent”, written by Sarah McLanahan and Gary Sandefur.…

    From personal experience my father was made to pay the child support and not my mother only to make my father’s life stressful with more work and less time with his children. No one wants to see a child suffer. Children will be emotionally damaged, fathers will be put in circumstances that can be prevented and the mother will be getting out the easy way so it is only fair that both parents equally support and the father not be held accountable for child…
