Default Morals!

I thought it would be fun to revisit one of the fundamentals of the SM&P: hypothetical moral situations. So here is the fairly simple scenario:

A woman and a man are in a relationship. One of them intentionally undermines/discontinues/sabotages the couple's means of birth control without consenting the other. A child is concieved.


Preliminary question:

How immoral is 'blocking' the birth control by the individual acting alone?


Deeper questions:

Assuming the 'blocking' is proved to be intentional and without mutual consent, should there be any legal basis for damages?

Could/should it alter the dynamics of right to abortion?

Could/should it affect child support?

What are the key differences between this act when committed by the woman versus committed by the man?
