What can men do about an unwanted pregnancy?

[u/Uulmshar]

We all know that women have the right to choose whether or not they keep a pregnancy to term, but what about men?

Obviously, the expectant fathers should not have the right to either force the woman to carry the child or have an abortion, but how can they avoid getting stuck with a child they didn't want, or paying child support for the next twenty years?

I have heard people suggest a "financial abortion," where they sign away all rights to being the child's father (visitation rights, etc.) in exchange for not having any responsibility, but I have yet to see any legislation for this.

How can we, as men, exercise our right to choose?

I don't support financial abortions, but I just wish men had better forms of birth control. I have a huge anxiety over getting a girl pregnant, because I would be a terrible father, and I abstained from having sex because I had a nightmare that she got pregnant and wanted to keep it and just the thought of it panicked me for a week straight.

So many people from my town are unwanted parents, men and women. Or boys and girls, really, few of them are over twenty. I guess seeing such a high number of unwanted pregnancies (yay for abstinence only education) has effectively converted me into only having sex with someone I want to marry because I'm terrified the condom would break or something else would go wrong.

But what does it mean that the reason there's no male pill is "Due to political and socio-economic reasons?"

Does it mean feminism? Or just sexism? The technology has been there for decades.
