re: Proposal in Sweden to legalize "male abortion"

Friend of mine brought up in interesting point. Without child support, we the taxpayers will likely be picking up the tab.

Just another scenario where personal responsibility both before and after need to be exercised.

Likely? The responsibility to raise the child would absolutely fall on the taxpayer? Can you imagine if we in the US told every irresponsible broke-dick that they
could impregnate as many women as will allow them to do so, without any repercussions? I mean, most do anyway because they know someone else (i.e. the taxpayers) will financially support the child, but at least there is a concern that will be forced to pay child support.

It also brings up an interesting discussion. Why can't a man choose to have his child aborted, or at least chose not to? Is it not just as much his child as the woman's? If the goal is true equality, shouldn't each parent be able to express their choice?
