Hey, welcome to the 21st century. Unlike the the ages of Christian Rule, we are more open minded. In fact, almost every religion and society in history has either had neutral views, or idolized sexual intercourse as a form of recreation. Ancient Egypt didn't even have a word for 'vrigin'. It's time we move away from the closed minded doctrine of the Church, and utilize the current technological advancements. We have the tech to prevent pregnancy when we don't want it to a high degree of success, and the tech to stop an unwanted pregnancy after it has begun. We have these technologies. They hurt no one when used with consent (do NOT start an abortion debate PLEASE). Therefore we will use them.
That being said, if someone is using all of the pratical protection, and through bad luck or Law of Large Numbers happens to get pregnant, there is nothing unethical about using modern technologies to stop this, given both parents are willing. However, if the woman wants to go through with it, the man should have an avenue of escape. If he doesn't want to care for it, don't let him. If the woman doesn't want it, she can abort it (to a given time), so there's no reason a man shouldn't be allowed the same rights. There's so much hype about how women are discriminated against in society, and the movements to resolve it. "Equal rights" is a common phrase. If equal rights are the goal, men should be allowed to cut off all ties with the mother and child/children(loltwins) within the same period that the woman can abort them.
