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.

It's an interesting way to look at it, but wouldn't that be more of a loan than a gift? A man gives his sperm in unprotected sex under the understanding that it will be used for procreation. Otherwise, like you said they'd have used contraception.

I don't know if I would call it a "loan" or a "gift."

Anyway, when a man has unprotected sex, he places the control of his sperm in full control of the woman. Sure, he may expect the woman to use the sperm to make a baby, but I don't believe she has any moral obligation to do so.
