There is no free ride to obligate another in a world where it is easy to get contraceptives, morning afters pills, abortions. Perhaps we should start signing contracts before sex to make sure all positions are clear!
Actually, that the logical result of what you are said, (quoted below) so you might want to clarify that statement. You are not saying it is up to both of them, because regardless of what the mother decides when the father does not want to abort, she still must carry the baby to term. If she truly had a choice, she wouldn't be forced to do anything.

As for the extra content, I realize you didn't go into the details I did, but I am drawing complete and logical conclusions from your statements, rather than just a small portion, which is why I was clarifying that it is what you meant.
