Who pays when a man is tricked into impregnating a woman?

Asked by Cosmos (648points) May 13th, 2015

Imagine a situation. The woman tells the man that she is taking an oral contraceptive so there’s no need for other contraceptive measures. In actual fact she has not been using any kind of contraception. They have sex. A few weeks later she informs the man that she is pregnant and demands that he take at least fiscal responsibility for the child. Is he morally obliged to do so?
