If you are from a country where the man who fathers the baby is required to pay child support...

And since currently abortion is in most states available on demand, should the father of the child have the right to demand an abortion or have his legal responsibilities removed?

That’s a tough one. It doesn’t seem fair that a man can be forced to fork up support money, IF he was sure birth control was used, and IF he made it clear to the woman beforehand that he did NOT want a kid.

But how could either of those things ever be proved? It would be a lot of he-said she-said.

Not to mention, most people probably don’t think clearly enough to talk about this in the heat of the moment.

If it can’t be proven that the woman got pregnant on purpose, knowing it was against the man’s wishes - I’d rather err on the side of caution and have the man make support payments.
