A Man Should Be As Protected As A Woman.

I want to make clear that I believe that a man has the same responsibility of protection as the woman. A man should no more believe that a woman is on the pill or infertile than a woman should believe that a man won't ejaculate inside her or that he has a low sperm count and can't get her pregnant. But what is the contraception doesn't work?

While in cases of failed contraception a man may have a duty to share the cost of a pregnancy test or an abortion, this does not extend to a duty to support a child. Pregnancy, like disease transmission, is a proximate effect of sex; childbirth is determined by further steps, the woman’s choice. While the father might be obligated to share the costs immediately incurred as a result of sex, his responsibility comes to an end when she gives birth. If the choice to bear and keep the child is solely the mother’s, the moral responsibility for its existence seems to be hers alone (Brake).

I believe this is fair. If a woman wants the freedom of choice, why should that make the mans choice null and void?
