That sounds like a perfect solution for a perfect world, but...
It does not change the fact that a man is literally held hostage by a woman's decision to keep a baby. If a pregnancy occurs and a woman decides to keep it, the man has absolutely no rights whatsoever to free himself of the situation. There should be some kind of legal steps to be taken before a child is born to let a man obsolve himself of a child that he has no desire to raise or support for the next 18 years. It would be interesting to see child births drop like a stone if this ever happened, but the good ole system will be there with open arms to take in these women and give them the support that they need.
Afterthought... Following your logic regarding "if his sperm makes a baby, he's responsible." Well, correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't it her egg that makes a baby too. So, if women go and get themselves sterilized, problem solved.
