This is an interesting quote from the article:
I find that a helpful way of looking at things. In a world where abotion is legal. Then it makes sense that some guys will see unwanted children as an abortion that 'went wrong' so to speak. And as such shouldn't be expected to have a relationship with them.
Sorry if that sounds harsh. Just looking at it logically. If it is legal to kill a foetus. Then it should be okay to want to have nothing to do with a child once it is born.

Policies that punish men for accidental pregnancies also punish those children who must manage a lifelong relationship with an absent but legal father. These “fathers” are not “dead-beat dads” failing to live up to responsibilities they once took on — they are men who never voluntarily took on the responsibilities of fatherhood with respect to a particular child.
