So? Getting an abortion or taking the morning after pill are possible solutions for women. They are not possible for men because men don't get pregnant and therefore don't have access to those solutions. Why you think that means they should be able to have risk free sex and transfer all their economic risk to women is beyond me. Seems rather unfair to be honest, and what incentuve would men have to use contraception then? There is no point in continuing this conversation.
Seems about as unfair as man being saddled with more economic risk than a woman since child support amount is completely arbitrary and based solely on the judges decision. And in some cases (which I've seen personally) losing their freedom because they don't make enough money to cover child support costs.
Potential penalties include fines and up to six months imprisonment. If the amount of owed child support is more than $10,000 or has not been paid for over two years, the violation is considered a felony and subjects a defendant to up to two years imprisonment.
Instead of making men shoulder all the responsibility of a woman's decision to keep a child how about you argue for the state to implement things like affordable health care and childcare?
The same incentive women have since they can abortions. STI's and Aids
