The footballer Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal - one of the great stars of the game - has announced through the Internet that a one-night stand he had in the USA has ended up with the woman getting pregnant; she has kept the baby, and Ronaldo promises that he will take in his child and do his duty as a father. Well. I can't excuse the man's casual sex, but how many people accept the responsibility and its results as he has?

A dear friend of mine, Patrick, found himself in a similar situation - his girlfriend became pregnant, and he married the woman because he wanted to 'do the right' thing. Despite the fact that he finds it difficult to support not only his wife and daughter but also his wife's first child, who he has adopted as his own, he never even once thought about telling his wife to abort, and marrying her to make sure there was a stable environment for the child was not a hard decision to make. the hardest part of it has been the fact that his mother has practically disowned him (she had even advised him to just not marry the woman so he would not need to have any ties to her or a 'child of sin'). and a large number of his 'friends' were astounded that he didn't just have the child aborted.
