What punishment do you think the father should receive

The literal definition of punishment is "the infliction or imposition of a penalty as retribution for an offense."


Forcing a woman to go through the physical, financial and mental strain of having a child for no other reason than because you believe she was having sex irresponsibly (coincidentally, controlling women's sexual habits is a wonderfully celebrated tradition in nearly every culture at one time of the other) is about as close to the true example of Punishment than I could even think of.


That is, of course, unless you believe all life is sacred. And, if that's the case, then you should be against abortion whether it was consensual or not. As your concern is not the state or punishment or the woman, but of the health of the baby.
