The money system and why boyfriends abandon their impregnated girlfriends
I visited the Pro-Life Philippines office this afternoon and a lone councilor was was there. My innocent question was: “What are the most common counselling queries lately?” Answer: “As usual, female 20-25 years old is pregnant and suddenly abandoned by her boyfriend.”
My follow up question was: “Is the problem because they are financially incapable?”
Answer: “No, they are usually middle class, the women usually come from the provinces, they come to Manila to find work, they become pregnant, and are ashamed / at a loss as to what to say to their provincial families once they come back home. That their in-eutero child has no father…”
So it is more of a shame thing. Fear of societal non-acceptance of a child with an absent father.
But my interest is, why do these certain boyfriends abandon their impregnated girlfriends?
My analysis and main culprit is: The boyfriend-girlfriend relationship is an ambiguously defined agreement between a male and a female which can mean anything which may include NOTHING.
There is the usual accusation that the man only wanted sexual pleasure. Then there is the fact that there are men who want no involvement in the raising of children. Then there is the fact that there are men who are not fond of children. Then there are men who have no money for this new endeavor.
Ah, lack of money. An urban innovation where the cost of child raising is astronomical. Today’s money system is skewed, many people lack money. Of course the money system is ridiculous! This present money system cannot even support the basic human instinct of reproduction. And the greedy money masters / oligarchs / global bankers even have the gall to blame natural human reproduction as the cause of their own poverty!
Money is supposed to serve the people, not enslave them. A better money system must be constructed.
