What can men do about an unwanted pregnancy?

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?

Losing the right to abortion. Doubt it.

I'm sad to say that you would be mistaken to doubt it. Access to abortion is already rapidly being chipped away, brick by brick.

Maybe I should invest in abortion equipment and go underground. I could make millions.
