Were any of those women forced to become mothers agaist their will of were they offered a choice after they became pregnant?
Thats the difference that some on this board dont understand. Most of us agree that in instances when consensual intercourse happens both are equally responsible for that. Where there is contention is that a woman has the legal authority to end a pregnancy for the reason of not feeling prepared to be a mother. Men are not given that option. Men are told their choices were over the moment they ejaculated.
If the law was interested in treating the parents as coequals it would either not allow women to abort without a sufficent medical reason or it would allow men to opt out of parenthood based on him deciding for himself he isnt sufficiently prepared to become a father to that child.

So in consensual intercourse, both are responsible?
Cool. I agree. If a child is born both are responsible for the support of that child.
