That's still not fair to the woman when it's a choice made by both people. By taking this path you're leaving the woman to either have to kill or suffer with the consequences of a mutual decision for the rest of her life. If a man doesn't want to be a father and be a part of a child's life, that's his decision, but he should be equally responsible for all financial "losses" if the woman decides to keep it. A man who decides to leave suffers virtually no consequences through this idea when no matter what a woman suffers for the rest of her life. Whether it's an accident or not, that's not fair.
It's unfortunate that you feel like men lose all control when they become parents but that's entirely a decision on their part. There are plenty of happy fathers in the world and being walked on by a woman isn't an obligation, since you can leave and get joint custody or, if you're better off, sole custody if you love your child. My father raised me and my siblings alone, so it's not unheard of impossible for a father to take that path.
