    Men have a lot less at stake than women

    Women put their health at risk through pregnancy and delivery. They also forfeit part of their careers -- or all of it -- (if they have one.)

    Men do not put any of the above in jeopardy.

    They should not be allowed to force a pregnancy on women, no matter how well-intentioned they are about providing for the child.

    It would amount to treat women as simple vessels to carry a child. At worse, it would be procreative slavery.
