Or she could choose to give it up for adoption. No one is forcing her to do anything with her body. Either way, she has multiple options with respect to whether to accept the financial consequences. The man should have the same choice.
The man consented to the possibility that a child would be born when he had sex. He is responsible for his share of the costs. He can not complain because he consented to the possibility.
Once the child is born the mother can refuse child support, but she can not terminate the fathers parental rights to the child.
