Pregnancy And Promises

In the space of one year, I dealt with four situations where men got young women pregnant, then promised them love, money, a home, and "all the world". Here's what happened next. In the first case, the woman didn't believe her man, and had an abortion. He was distraught. In the second case, the man gave her some support, then started to slap her around. She obtained a maintenance order. He said: "OK, put me in jail, and see how much money you get then!" She resigned herself to the situation. In the third case, the man kept his promises at first, then abandoned the woman completely. She was in a serious predicament, but decided to trust in God. In the fourth case, the man kept all his promises. OBSERVATION: Making promises may be a shrewd move by the man, because he can head off fairly stringent legal obligations that way.
