If I may interrupt for one minute with a woman's viewpoint:

Unless she is desperate for this "compensation" that the father will provide, no woman in her right mind will go through pregnancy and childbirth if she does not really REALLY want the baby.

I don't think you guys realize what a painful nine months pregnancy is. Throwing up all day and every day for months. Severe headaches (and no pain killers of course). Body blowing out of proportion, usually never to recover. Swollen hands and feet leading to the quite painful carpal tunnel syndrome. All inner organs pushed to one side to make room for the baby, and pains/indigestion/constipation etc resulting from it. Weight of baby causing very painful sciatica and posterior pelvic pain, which might or might not go away after birth.

And then you have childbirth to look forward to - Do you guys even know what a third or fourth degree tear is? Here is a peek into the lives of women who might tell you childbirth is not something they would do just to be nice to a guy who wants to be a father:

Did you know incontinence is quite common after birth?

Oh and by the way, this is what stretch marks look like:

Now, all you men have a very nice day debating whether women should have to carry babies to term and giving birth to them just to make men happy :-)
