And vice versa perhaps? His forcing a woman to terminate a child she wants to keep?

Neither prospect seems conscionable to me.

I'm of the opinion that the choice of the male ends at the point of sexual intercourse. If you do not wish to raise a child or and/or don't wish to pay child support, then the solution is don't get her pregnant.

I think this position best reflects the sanctity of personal sovereignty; a person's right to control their own body and actions AND a person's responsibility over their own body and actions.
