Eric, we went down two separate paths, but I think we both focused on the father's responsibility for bearing the child, if not physically.
I think a lot of guys are like, "What do I care if I knock some girl up? She can always get an abortion, right?" Regardless of how stupid that sounds in theory, you can't deny that this sort of logic sounds tempting to those thinking with their "other" head. So now guys feel more free to practice their lifestyles, knowing that any girl they impregnate will always have an "avenue of escape."
<If the women has the ultimate choice I believe she bears the ultimate financial responsibility.>
I disagree. That will only invite more men to be irresponsible in their behavior. Not only could a woman choose to abort an unborn baby, but that if the woman chooses not to, the father won't be held responsible at all. That's a win-win situation for the irresponsible, and a sure-fire way to make more women undergo abortions.
Yes, there are women who get pregnant just to extort money from fathers. Sports stars are especially vulnerable to these women. But then again, it's kind of silly to paint the man as "vulnerable" to this, because just as women can stop men from coming too close, so can men stop women from coming too close as well.
