If a woman should be allowed to escape the responsibility and consequences of having sex by having an abortion, then should it also be fair play and allow men to make the choice if they wish to be a part of the child's life if she decides to have it? I mean, if it's a Woman's Body, Woman's Choice, then should it also be, "Man's Wallet, Man's Choice?

Just to be clear, I do not advocate for either one. I think abortion should be illegal unless the woman was raped, if the child will be born with severe deformities, or if she takes the morning after pill, before it even grows large enough to have a heart beat or can experience pain. Otherwise, I feel if you make the choice to have sex, you should be responsible to care for the child. If you are unable to care for the child, the child should go up for adoption. I think the man should be equally responsible. However, if we are to be fair, then a man who is unwilling to be a father should have the right to say no and simply walk away, if it is to be legal for a woman to have an abortion, since it would only be fair.
