I don't think women should be compelled to have abortions when the father does not want to father, but I DO think that the father should be able to "opt out" of any responsiblity to support the child. This should be done early on in the pregnancy, I think--within the same time frame that an abortion could occur.
I've seen too many women try to "trap" men by getting pregnant. It never turns out well for anyone. If the father let the woman know early on that he was going to opt out of responsibility to support the child, the woman might re-think her reasons for getting pregnant in the first place.
I know that sounds kind of harsh--but it IS all about choice.
