* If a woman decides to have the child, should the man involved have the ability to opt out of the legal obligations of fatherhood?

No. His right to choose has to do with his seed. If he doesn’t wear a condom, he’s relinquishing that right. He’s not required to pay for a woman’s prenatal care, and she can terminate the pregnancy.. But he can’t abandon the child after birth—just like the mother can’t.

@bijouxbroussard I agree with everything you said... apart from the first part? Are you saying safe sex is a man’s responsibility?

@Curiousguy833 I’m saying that if he doesn’t want the responsibility of a child, what [b]he[/b] can do proactively is, either use a condom or limit his activities to those that can’t impregnate anyone. [b]His[/b] right to choose has to do with where he chooses to leave his seed.
