Both parties made the decision to accept the risk.
This, too, is false. A woman does not have to have sex to get pregnant. And the sperm donor actually IS performing the act with the intention to create a pregnancy, yet STILL does not accept the financial obligation.
It's also not the argument. The woman, and the woman alone, makes the decision to bring a child into the world. She has sole authority and responsibility for the decision, so the financial consequences should be borne solely by her.
It's quite simple. I buy her a gun for protection and she uses it to rob a bank doesn't make me an accessory - robbing the bank was entirely her choice. I didn't "accept the risk she could rob a bank" when I bought the gun.
