51. I disagree
The man should not be able to demand the woman terminate the pregnancy.

However, he should be able to say he doesn't want the child and sign away his legal rights and obligations so the woman knows that if she does choose to have the child she will get no financial or other help from him.

The woman should not be forced to be a parent, or not be a parent, but neither should the man.

Yes, he could have kept it zipped, but so could she. To me that burden falls on them both equally.

If there is a choice once pregnancy has occured, it should be for both of them, not just the woman.
