Why should a guy have to pay child support if a girl gets pregnant outside of marriage?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because it's his baby, too.

[ QUOTE ]
My proposed solution: if a girl gets pregnant she has the right to get an abortion. When she chooses not to have an abortion she has decided to take the baby and all the responsibilities for the baby.

Why does the guy not have to take responsibilities for doing the sperm-injecting?

[ QUOTE ]
It does not seem fair to me that the man has no say at all whether or not the baby is born but has to pay regardless of choosing to keep the baby or not.

[/ QUOTE ]

He does have a say. He doesn't have to inject sperm into women who are likely planning to get an abortion if they become pregnant.

[ QUOTE ]
It seems more fair that the woman can choose whether or not to keep the baby but should have to pay herself.

[/ QUOTE ]

The guy can choose to pull out, wear a rubber, not have sex ... he had choices, too.

[ QUOTE ]
My guess is that I'm overlooking something important, so help me out.

Obviously.
