Child Support Rights for Men

I developed this idea years ago, and have articulated it ever since: Since women have 100% choice in "keeping" or "aborting" their pregnancy, unwed fathers should have a similar choice. And non-costodial parents who pay child support should have lots of rights in decision-making. Currently, if an unwed women gets pregnant, she holds all of the cards. The unwed father is at her mercy. If she wants to abort the pregnancy, he cannot force her to keep the baby. If she chooses to have the baby, she has an inducement: 20% of the schmuck's paycheck, for 18 years. The only choice that the father has is upon birth he can sue for custody. But if the woman has a choice that will nullify that option: don't tell the dad she's pregnant until the baby is born and has lived with the mom long enough to establish primary residence. At such a point, custody transfer is very hard.
