I know it's not an excuse for anyone, but I bet alot of unwanted pregnancies are the result of going with the flow of youthful lust and inebriated exuberance rather than any planning. Young people tend to be of the invincible train of thought as well, youth take risks in all sorts of ways, sometimes they get burned.

I 100% agree. But the question was- should a man be required to support a child if he didn't want it. And yes, he absolutely should. It's not my responsibility, or the tax payers, to pay for someone else's bad judgement.
The two people who make the baby are the two who should have to pay. Saying, "Oh, I didn't want a kid when I knowingly dumped my load in her" is no excuse. We all know where babies come from and we all know they cost money to raise.
