Men should not be able to control what a woman does with her body. BUT the father should be able to abdicate all responsibility for that child if they want. In other words they should be able to legally "abort" the child. Women should also be forced to tell the father about the child if they are not going to abort. They should not be able to just force the kid on the father if the father does not want the child.
The lack of personal responsibility in this thread is ******** appalling.
If men are personally responsible for having sex then so are women and abortion should be illegal. It's a simple as that.
Plus honestly, there are 3 types of birth control for men. Abstinence, vasectomy and condoms. Women have a lot more including hormonal, which comes in the form of pills, shots, patches and inserts, spermicides, vaginal sponges, diaphragms, hysterectomies and vaginal condoms. This means that technically getting pregnant is more the fault of the woman then the man because the man took all the measures he could (other than not having sex and having a medical operation) while the woman did not. There's also the fact that some women have been known to flat out lie to the man about taking birth control to trap a man.
These are things that ought to be considered prior to engaging in sex. I, personally, would not stick my d**k in a woman that I wouldn't want to bear my children. It's not just a matter of personal responsibility, but a matter of being picky about the other half of the genetic material that my potential children will be born with.
From my understanding, all forms of birth control come with roughly a 99% success rate of deterring pregnancy, save permanent measures such as vasectomy or tubes tying. In that sense, having sex a hundred times is essentially playing pregnancy roulette. I hope this isn't enough of an exaggeration to be an ineffective explanation of my feelings on it.
The idea that a woman can do with her body what she wants and no one should have an opinion on it is just feminist bullshit to me. I love women, to the point of not getting along well with men. However, the idea that two people would enter an act understanding the possible repercussions and then simply shirk the consequences out of simple inconvenience, be they a woman who aborts the child or a man who leaves the child, is sickening for me. I'm not even of the opinion that a fetus is a living organism unto itself, but I feel as though this issue is representative of the greater issue in America, which is Americans not manning the ******** up.
Actually no, all forms of birth control do not have a 99% success rate of deterring pregnancy. This is why we need better sex education...

Barrier methods, which include the male condom, female condom, diaphragm, spermicide, the cervical cap, and the sponge (for those who have not given birth) also yield fair typical user success rates between 71 to 85 percent.
-Of every 100 people who use one of these barrier methods for a year, 15 to 29 will have an unintended pregnancy
Birth control pills (both combination and progestin-only) and other prescription options such as The Patch and The NuvaRing tend to have a high typical user success rates of around 92 percent.
-This means that out of 100 women who use one of these methods for a year, 8 will become pregnant
The ParaGard IUD (Copper T 380A) , the Mirena IUD, Implanon, Depo Provera Injections, Tubal Ligation, and Vasectomy tend to be the most highly effective methods of birth control.
-These all have typical user rates of 97 to 99 percent
-This means that out of 100 people who use these methods for a year, 3 or less will become pregnant

I actually do agree with you in a lot of ways. BUT I also think of the child and how unwanted children tend to have pretty horrible lives. Even if given up for adoption.
The best thing is honestly to have better sex education. It has been proven that better sex ed leads to less chance of pregnancy. But without good sex ed forcing a woman to have a child when she was not knowledgeable about the issue at hand is just wrong in my mind. Ignorance should not be punished but changed to knowledge.
