If the man wants the baby and the woman doesn't he should have the opportunity to negotiate a reasonable fee for carrying the child to term. Medical expenses and the like. He should have the opportunity to offer this. If the woman accepts then once born the baby is the responsibility of the man and the man alone. If the woman still decides to abort, that is her choice. I'm fine with that.

A womans decision to abort or not shouldn't automatically determine the parental responsibilities post birth.
And what about the child?
