If you're engaging in an action which you know can have negative consequences, but you do so anyway without regards to those consequences, then you're what we'd like to call irresponsible.
Unless there's a giant, flashing neon sign above her head which says "Liable to abort your child!", there's really no way of knowing. You know?

How do you feel about contraception? Birth control pills, condom use, spermicides, Plan B? Is it being irresponsible to have sex when you use at least one method or combine multiple methods to avoid pregnancy when you're not ready for it?
And, directing that back to the original topic.. should a father's rights change based on whether contraceptives were used? If so, does it depend on what kind of contraceptive or which party was "responsible" for it (i.e. whether a woman took the pill improperly or a man didn't check a condom for breakage)?
And as for knowing whether someone would abort your child or not.. discussing that before unprotected sex is important. Hell, discussing that before using one contraceptive method on its own is important. Honesty goes hand-in-hand with maturity.
