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

Here's the question: do you believe in equal rights? If the answer is yes then men should also have the right after conception be able to choose whether they want to be a parent or not.

So if a woman doesn't want to be a parent after an unwanted pregnancy, her choice is abortion. If a man doesn't want to be a parent after conception, his choice is to sign a paper?
Alternatively, what if those "equal" rights conflict? What if the man wants to be a parent and the woman doesn't want to be one? Is the woman forced to have the baby even though abortion is legal, or does the equality only matter if they want to bow out?

I'm pretty sure pregnancy, birth, etc. don't qualify as rights.
Also, given that biologically men and women are different, this isn't actually something that would qualify as an equality issue.
Given biology, men and women have different options. Having different options doesn't equate to having no options.
