Oh it's very lucrative. Which is why the same people come back again and again pregnant, all different dads, and these women are never infertile. The law has recently changed regarding fathers. It used to be that the father had no legal rights to make decisions about his child ie immunisations etc if he and the mother were unmarried, even if his name was on the birth certificate. That has now changed or is in the process of changing. A father whos name is not on the birth certificate would legally not be able to make those decisions regarding his child. This means that he could not consent to medical treatment for the child ie, decide whether or not to let the child have MMR vaccine for example. He would have no legal say in the matter.
