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.
Also, women don't have more power over men. A men has the power to have a baby with someone else who also wants a baby. Similarly, women only have power to have a baby with someone else who also wants a baby. So I'm not seeing how a woman has extra power to have a baby. Both men and women need to find a consenting, fertile mate. |
That's BS man. By the same argument, if a bank decides to confiscate a customer's money, it's the customer's fault for naively trusting the bank with the money. |
That's different. Banks and customers form a legal agreement with certain parameters. If either party breakdown these parameters, then legal action must be taken. Same for a man and woman; if they had a legal, contractual agreement beforehand that the man wouldn't have to financially support the child, then he shouldn't have to. Unfortunately for most men, that's not the case.
