If a female doesn't want the responsibility/financial stress that goes along with parenthood, she can get an abortion and never look back. Even if the male wants to keep the baby, the female has the power to get an abortion.
So why do the males get no say? If a female can just walk away from the responsibility if she doesn't want a baby, a male should be able to do the same thing.
If the female wants to keep the baby but the male doesn't, the male gets stuck paying child support.
In both examples, one parent wants to keep the baby. So why does the male get stuck paying for a baby he doesn't want?
Of course the male can't get an abortion. But I don't think the male should need to pay child support for a baby he doesn't want.
Sure, you might be thinking "The male helped create the baby. If the female wants to keep it, the male should pay"
But it takes two to tango. Both parents played an equal role in creating the baby. So if the male can't force the female to pay, why should the female be able to force the male to pay?
By the way, I am pro-choice. I support abortion and I don't see anything wrong with a female getting an abortion if she doesn't want to pay for a baby. But if a male doesn't want to pay for a baby, he shouldn't need to either.
The males get a say. It's called deciding whether or not they use a condom. Beyond that, it's the female's decision since it is her body.
And I'm not trying to control what she does with her body. I said I'm pro-choice.
But if she wants to raise a baby so badly and the male doesn't, she should pay for it by herself.
Birth control can fail.
And you're missing the point. The point is what I said on my OP. A female can get out of paying for a baby she doesn't want, so a male should be able to.
Why can females force a male to pay but males can't force a female to pay?
Note: I'm not saying males should force females to pay. I'm just saying females shouldn't force males to pay. No one should force anyone to pay.
But the females that say "my body, my choice" tend to be the females that support abortion. So I don't understand why the pro-lifers are using the "my body" argument on this thread

I'm pro choice so you'd have to ask them.
Either way though the male has no power in the decision other than what the women gives him.
The "I didnt want the baby" aint gonna fly in family court.
