The situation I've posed is more akin to having protected sex for sexual gratification - the most common reason underlying most incidents of sex.

What this version asks is: if you have willingly engaged in an activity for which there is a certainty (or high likelihood) of immediate gratification (sexual pleasure/monetary reward), with the knowledge that with it comes a low likelihood of serious long-term consequences (impregnation/violinist-attachment), are you responsible for those long-term consequences in the unlikely event that they result?
While I feel there is a sense of responsibility, for example a woman being careless time and time again and having multiple abortions, I don't believe that for an accidental pregnancy a fetus has a right to a body if the woman does not want it. It might sound cold, but that's my opinion.
