Anytime you choose to have sex there is risk involved. Both parties should be prepared to face those those inherent risks when they make the decision to get naked together. It never ceases to amaze me how cavalier people can be about sex given the hefty responsibility that comes along with it.
It is always the woman's right to choose in regards to abortion because it is her body paying the price. If the man wants her to have an abortion and she agrees, it would be fair for the man to pay the entire fee because she is going to have some physical and emotional shit to deal with afterwards. However, it would also be fair for them to split the cost, whatever they feel most comfortable with and probably heavily dependent on their unique situation.
If she keeps the child, he should absolutely be on the hook to help financially support that child. He can, of course, make the decision to not be a physical presence in the kid's life and that is his right. If she decides to birth the child and give it up for adoption, he should have the right to keep the child if he so desires and she should then be on the hook to provide financial support. Otherwise, they can make the mutual decision to put the baby up for adoption.
Finally, any man or woman who is very well off financially should be extra careful who they climb into bed with. Or they should expect to potentially find their bank account a little lighter as a repercussion.
