re: if women can abort their children, why can't men opt out of parenthood?

RE: better for society? I have already argued that as well.

You have. I disagree with your sentiment and think the opposite would be true, but you have articulated why you think it would be better. I should have addressed the OP directly.

Well, we've already talked about why it would be more equitable.

A woman can back out via a medical procedure that ends the life if a child. You want a man to be able to back out by signing a paper. That's not in the same stratosphere.

Preventing an unwanted pregnancy is equitable where and when it matters - during intercourse. Even if I accept that abortion is the law of the land and swings the control to the woman at that point, this opt out only compounds the problem IMO.
