I've posted links and information already where you as a man CAN retain your rights in the decisions! It's NOT 100% the womans choice in other words. If you are on the putative fathers registry in your state (21 states have it currently), and the woman seeks an abortion or adoption, they MUST notify you before the procedure or process commences, else they are criminally liable! From there you all go to court to argue for paternal rights and who is better fit to decide YOUR babies future. YOUR is plural, not singular to either party.

Time to put down the stone knives and bearskins and get familiar with your rights and responsibilities as a man in the year 2008. You have to check your local states rights and not get caught in ignorance or you legally forfeit!

I will say again though that to the question actually posed in the thread: yes the man who factually is the father by paternity test should be responsible because he IS responsible. Just because he maybe didnt know the woman or realise he was so close to making a baby is no excuse and does not relieve him of any moral obligation. The law tries to reflect that, but as with all laws based on trying to fulfill a moral obligation, there are problems. Be that as it may, if his sperm was accepted by her egg, it's his and hers baby and as such, his and hers responsibility jointly.
