I could not abort a child once pregnant and it seems unfair in my opinion if the man could then deny me help other than half the money for an abortion.

The trouble is that you want your cake and eat it too.
You have a viable option - abortion.
You CHOOSE not to take that option. Doesn't matter why you choose not to take it - the fact is that you have made the choice not to have an abortion.
That puts the ball squarely in your court. If you choose to have the kid, then you need to be responsible for your choices.
It is simply not fair to the man to tell him "I'm having this kid, and there's nothing you can do to stop me. And by the way, you're going to be paying for my choice for two decades."
If abortion is an ugly prospect for you, then perhaps you should not be having sex with people unless you are willing to accept the possible consequences.
You can't have it two ways. You can't say "It's my body and therefore the abortion decision rests solely with me," while at the same time saying "Hey, it's HIS fault I'm pregnant." You had control of your body when you slept with him. If you didn't want the financial responsibility of a child, then you should have remembered that you're correct - - it IS your body and you should have kept him away from it.
If you expect someone to be responsible for something, they have to have a say in how it goes down.
