I think men should be free of the responsibility for a child they don't want.

In the event of an unplanned pregnancy a man cannot force a woman to get an abortion nor can he force her to carry the pregnancy to term.

Essentially he has no choice even though he is exactly as responsible for the pregnancy as the woman.

So to give men a little more say in the matter, i think that if he doesn't want to keep the baby and the woman does, he should be allowed to forfeit all rights to and responsibility for the child.

@Celine Woman is irresponsible- she can abort. Man is irresponsible- he can neglect his financial duties.
Let's create a society of even more irresponsible people whose actions will not have consequences. Great.

@Celine Because the baby is consequence of his action.
Actions have consequences. This is being an adult. The opposite is being a child.

Because he could have avoided the pregnacy from happening. As simple as that

@Celine Yes, she could have avoided the consequences too, instead of choosing the easier way of abortion.
You want a society of irresponsible men and women

@Celine They cannot have an equal say. A woman can terminate pregnancy. A man cannot.
Biology exists, and it does not care about equality.
Jarjarboom's answers say it much better than I can do.

@Celine Is it so hard to admit that in certain situations equality cannot happen?
Biology is above equality.

@Celine It is totally about biology.
Biology determines the whole situation.
Two people are necessary to make a baby. Only one to abort it.
There is no equality here. Equality plays no role.
