Everybody knows someone who had an unplanned pregnancy after one of those procedures took place.

Yet that type of thinking isn't applied all that often to young foolish females who get pregnant and one of the large arguements for pro-choice is that the woman(though I wouldn't call a girl that gets knocked up while screwing around a woman any more than I would call a guy who ran out on his kids a man)should not be penalized by having a baby she does not want.

I'm 100% serious on that. It is the woman's body and abortions are not pretty or mentally easy.

However it's still one more option than the male in the situation has and that is not "equatable". At the end of the day if she doesn't want it she doesn't have to have it. That's not something a male has the benefit of and it's not right if you consider both parties are equally responsible.

I'm sure that most pro-choice people (like myself) are in favor of having that option available for those who want it but could never personally do it. You can't fault someone for not doing what most people couldn't do themselves.

I suppose not however I don't think this stance of women can get out of it(even though it's damaging) but guys shouldn't be let out of it on a "moral" stand point really is right.

Does anybody actually think society will be better if we make it ok for men to run around impregnating women freely and then be completely free of any financial obligations?

No but neither do I think
society is better off by making it ok to terminate a life/potential life based purely on whether or not it will interupt their lives(rape,incest, and cases of saving the mothers life not withstanding).
Frankly on the scale of detestable behavior loss of life is worse than not being a parent(fiscally at least) in my book.
