The man should have to take responsibility for the baby since he made the conscious decision to have unprotected sex when he knew the risks.


What if the woman takes the pill and suddenly stops taking them without telling the man?



That's a risk that the man willingly took and he knew the consequences of that. He decided to trust his girlfriend without evidence and it was his own fault that he was deceived. For that, he should reap the consequences. When two people consciously decide to risk having a baby, then they need to both need to take responsibility if there is a baby.

Can't we apply that same logic to deny the legal practice of abortion for women who only have an abortion because they're not "ready" to have a baby? 



Notice I said if there is a baby, which means if a baby is born, and after the woman has chosen not to abort.

But you see, the woman's pregnancy was the consequence of her actions. If the only justification for her abortion is that she will not be able to financially support it, why should she have the choice not to have the baby? It was her actions which created the baby and she should be held accountable for them, just as the man should be held accountable for his actions. That's assuming the position that abortion is not a violation of the baby's right to life of course, which most pro-choicer believe.
