Women have all the control when it comes to becoming a parent. Should men have the right to opt out of parental responsibility?

Yes but only under certain circumstance, the law should be very strict because after all, children are involved.
There's plenty of men who trick women into getting pregnant and vice versa. There was a study on college rapists that found nearly all of them use coercion to get what they want. So while I think your premise is correct, that the courts most likely favor the woman, I don't think they should get to be out of parental responsibility because there's too many factors for why a relationship wouldn't work.
I would hate for a woman to be left with a kid if the male did something on purpose to make it be that way and then have the courts basically give low life's what they want.
I do however, think there's a bias and there needs to be [b]better protections[/b] for men overall.
Like if something happened that wasn't the man's fault, then it should be considered that he can default on child support payments if it's apparent that he himself got tricked, was in an abusive relationship or felt that he shouldn't have to have parental responsibility because of certain things that happened (maybe there's a case that the child isn't his etc.)
I guess I could see the above as to how a man would want out of parental responsibilities and we should listen to that but I think that decision shouldn't be taken lightly. A dead beat shouldn't be able to shirk out of responsibilities though while I could see some cases for it.
