Well, prepare for a wall o' text...
First of all gents, it IS the woman's body, you can't force anything on her. HOWEVER, the option is there to abort, if she chooses not to take it and he does not want responsibility we should not be stuck paying. I'll explain why by going over the main points I have seen here.
A: Birth control: Condoms do fail, I'm sorry but it isn't the solve all to this argument. In the case of any birth control failure the man should not be held accountable if the woman decides to keep the child. That being said you are a moron if you have sex without protection if you do not want a child.
B: Sterilization: Also not a good solution. Understand that when going through the process doctors tell the patient to assume it will NOT be reversible. Roughly 80% of the time it is, but 20% is a lot to ask for a failure rate. We may not want children yet, but perhaps later. Frozen sperm also have an expiration date...
C: Abstinence: Let's be honest, this isn't a viable option for any normal man. Women will disagree because their "switch" isn't on all the time. Granted it is there, and it is extremely powerful when it is, but it isn't an all consuming thought. In 4 seconds men produce as many sex cells as women will have in their entire life. Testosterone production also always runs at a steady level for men, which is why we are ready to go at the drop of a hat. Women have a steady buildup of estrogen as they get closer to ovulation, which is why they seem ready to pounce you about 3-4 days from their period. This makes it extremely deadly for men, because oftentimes the horniest of women are also the most fertile. So, either all those men out there hypocritically saying "keep it in your pants" have either A: never been set upon by a woman in heat (a fun and scary experience at the same time, trust me I know) or B: are already in a steady relationship later in life with a steady supply of sex.
Sorry ladies, but sex is kind of a biological need for us men, studies show that men who have regular sex have much lower instances of prostate cancer, much lower levels of stress, increased testosterone production for a longer period of time as we age and an increased longevity, by as much as 10 years.
On a side note, remember abstinence is only 99.999% effective, remember jesus?
In essence, it is absolutely the woman's choice on abortion, however it is the father's in involvement. Simply because the woman decides to keep it does not make it the man's responsibility to have to care for it, particularly in instances where birth control was used.
