Can't help but feel like if child support wasn't forced on the parent who didn't want the child (and also had no say) the girl would still be alive.

He had say when he made the choice to have sex with her

See the problem with this argument (aside from the fact that it's a double standard and thus disingenuous) is that you're basically minimizing women to the status of children, incapable of making their own decisions. She also chose to have sex. It's extremely dishonest and I'm going to call you on it whether you meant to be dishonest or not.

If she had chosen to abort and he wanted to keep it, he'd have no say. If she wanted to keep it, and he didn't, he'd have no say. He'd also get the pleasure of giving this woman money every month she probably isn't even spending on his child. Courts absolutely favor women in custody disputes and this dude was going to be paying out the ass for the next 18 years. Basically these arguments always free the woman of responsibility and shove it all on the male when it is convenient as if it doesn't take two to tango.

I'm not condoning what he did but I certainly understand what drove him to the madness that led to her unfortunate death. Cases like this are not actually that rare and are a symptom of blatant favoritism in family courts. It's neat how this woman gets killed and it's national news but there are no stories about the countless men who commit suicide because their petty vindictive ex took it all.
