Men need to be responsible for their sperm.  If for any reason (other than where they sign away parental rights such as sperm donation) their sperm results in a baby, the man is at minimum, legally obligated to pay child support.  Even if she lied.   

This being said, I knew a woman who lied to her boyfriend that she was on the pill, when in fact she was not on the pill & knew was ovulating!  And of course a baby resulted.  I find her behavior reprehensible!  And the woman has proven herself untrustworthy in many areas of life.  But the baby should not have to suffer as a result!  In this case, the baby didn't.  The father found out the mother lied, but didn't want his child to suffer.  He quickly released he is the better parent, & took custody of the boy who has a great relationship with his dad.  The boy has no clue he was the result of a lie intended to entrap his father into marrying his mother. If the man had held off on having sex with the woman longer than the 3 weeks they had been dating, he would have soon realized she's a pathological liar & would not have trusted her when she claimed she was on the pill.  He realizes it was HIS choice to trust this woman & HIS choice to have sex.
