No. Having sex doesn't amount to consent to raise a child with that person.

You would effectively be ending recreational sex. Since contraception is only 99% effective. 

The male's decision to support or not support should come after he learns of a pregnancy.


Well I wasn't considering sex with protection, since what I said wouldn't make sense in that case. Because with protection, it's clear the man isn't consciously deciding to donate his sperm. However, with consensual unprotected sex, I see no reason why the man should not be responsible, since he made a conscious decision to donate his sperm to the woman for her usage.

OK so everyone needs to keep a record of whether they used contraception or not. In fact, probably needs to be signed record by both partners every time they have sex.

Remember court battles over up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in support are at stake here. The above isn't absurd if you consider that. You'd get females alleging that that one time he didn't use it, and the male saying he did.
