I just feel in this particular situation where both parties had been taking contraceptive precautions then there is basically an assumption that a child is not the desired outcome of their sexual relationship and this is understood by both. Due to an unlucky course of events pregnancy has occurred. It hasn't occurred due to either party being irresponsible. With this in mind if she now wishes to continue with the birth then I don't see how it is fair to force the male to be a father against his wishes. If they weren't both taking contraceptive precautions then I would think very differently about this. But since they were I really believe there is a good argument to be made that a child was definitely not desired and has only occurred due to an accident. To be held responsible for that for the rest of your life is one hell of a burden in my book, considering the options available.
