> Giving men equal rights in the decision to become a parent would mean giving them the right to legal parental surrender. That’s the point people seem to overlook. There is no particularly good reason why all men should not be able to surrender parental rights especially early on say during the first trimester and essentially be treated as sperm donors as far as the law goes (tho from my understanding in some or even many jurisdictions sperm donors aren’t protected from that either beyond their anonymity). At that point the woman still has a choice if she wishes to continue with the pregnancy on her own or terminate it. Basically it would turn the equation from do you want to have a child to do you want to have a child without any financial support from the father.
