Seduction and reproduction,
always ready to make a baby
does not translate into a daddy commitment.
child support, the legal responsibility vs. supporting the child, the humane responsibility,
same daddy/different mothers
begets children with the same daddy/different mothers,
begetting a story that goes on and on…
and the children repeat the pattern,
seduction and reproduction
