If the woman wants to carry the baby to term, and the father wants no part of it BEFORE BIRTH, then I think that it should be the woman's responsibility, should she choose to give birth. AFTER BIRTH is a completely different animal, of course, but until that fetus can exist separate from its mother, it is not a lifeform. Basically, up until birth, either party can opt out, with the mother having the ultimate veto (e.g., no father can force a woman to give birth), but after that, they're both in the ballgame together.

Does this help clarify my viewpoint?
