One might mistakenly think that God is forced to create a soul if a child is conceived out of wedlock. How is that not so though?

I don't understand the question. Could you please expound.

One might think that God is forced to create another soul if a pregnancy arises out of unlawful use of the marital act. How is it that not the case really, for God wills a child to he born still?

The fact is, there is no necessity for any one of us ever having been called into existence at all anyway - even within wedlock, so our creation is not dependent upon either the sins or the sanctity of the parents. Certainly in both cases there are times when a child is conceived as well as not.

God creates whom He will as He wills - no one knows His will in that respect. All we know is that He always brings every single one of us into existence for His greater glory and for our own salvation.

As someone who was born out of wedlock (this is the norm, not the exception in most of the Catholic Americas), this makes sense.
