My husband agrees with you. We were discussing this last night because I thought the idea made sense and yet it wasn't working for me. I wanted to understand why it wasn't. I was having trouble with the idea of equality, as I just don't see it as possible because of the inherent biological imbalance. Your distinction about separate paths of responsibility make some sense to me also- which is what my husband was saying. He believes that there are risks assumed in the act, and the possibility of a child is the one the man assumes. He understands that the woman may make a decision to abort, or she may not and he may be held accountable. He also believes that there is a responsibility to society. In fact, he sounded remarkably like X, only he has a deeper voice. I dunno, I am still mulling it all over. I still do not believe that being pro-choice excludes the opinion of the man, but I do think that given what bearing a child means for a woman, it should be her decision ultimately. It isn't fair. It hasn't been fair for hundreds of years for women. We are still working it all out- and will probably still be at it a hundred years from now.
