If Mother nature gives women the brunt of the responsibility why should they be able to dodge that responsibility by killing their unborn children?

the aren't. they are terminating further development of a foetus. no children in the equation.

And why should men be forced to support children they didn't want?

why should a woman be forced to give birth to a baby she doesnt want?

i can comment on the australian child support system. it is woefully ungenerous. if a father has no contact, no desire to be involved in the raising of his biological child, the burden of child support is little more than a token, and if it is never paid, it is never chased up. the assumtion is that child support goes hand in hand with parental responsibility, lots of one means lots of the other, and none or very little of one means none or very little of the other.

but of course, it is determined individually.
