I disagree, since a woman's first responsibility is to herself(as it is her right to terminate a pregnancy), it is only fair the first responsibility of a man be to himself as well(since he obviously can't force a woman to abort). His wallet, his choice.
I can appreciate your interest in equality, however, pregnancy is inherently unequal. And again, you are attempting to put the fathers needs over that of the child's. I've seen paternity cases where a man is found not to be the biological father of a child but the court ruled he still had to pay child support.
The needs of the child outweigh the needs of the father. I believe Spock said that in episode #72 of Star Trek.
I've heard more than a few Conservatives espouse this nonsense which really makes one wonder where they truly stand on abortion since this position would only increase abortions by women who were already on the fence about getting one due to financial issues. Without the financial help from the father, there will be more abortions.
So what is it that Conservative really care about? Preventing abortions? Or protecting their wallets?
