No one in here is saying that he should be able to make that decision, yet for some reason this line keeps on being brought up. This is further evidence that I think you don't understand the argument.
The man has control over his finances by not getting a woman pregnant. No birth control is 100% effective. To put all of the burden of an unwanted pregnancy on the woman is the misogynistic way of thinking.
And certainly a man should not be allowed to agree to get a woman pregnant and then just decide he does not want to support the child. Are you saying he should be allowed to do that AFTER the child is born? If this were the law men would have children all over the place and not be responsible for any of them.
Someday technology will advance to the point that a fetus will be able to be removed from the mother and raised outside of the womb. Would you still deny the father the right to that child then? Why should the woman be given 100% control over the fetus when she does not have to let it grow in her body?
