Should the fathers of the unborn have a say in the process? We are held responsible for support, even when the child turns out not to be biologically yours, so why don't we get an equal say?

Colorado man forced to pay child support despite DNA test results | WGNOWait...you can be held responsible for support for a child that isn't yours? I believe that's wrong...
You did have a say. You had unprotected sex. You shouldn't have done that if you didn't want to pay for 1/2 the care and feeding of the expectant mother, 1/2 the medical bills and 1/2 of the cost of getting him/her to 18 years of age. Even then you will never be "equal" because you didn't carry the child for 9 months. If you have any disagreements with the mother, you should try to be really nice and work them out or get a lawyer.

A man can have the right to try to convince a woman to abort a pregnancy. Other than that, his best option is to reliably use contraception (maybe more than one type at a time, like condom+vasectomy), to prevent needing the right to try to convince a woman to abort a pregnancy.Should the fathers of the unborn have a say in the process?

That's just one case, there are many others.

Wait...you can be held responsible for support for a child that isn't yours? I believe that's wrong...
How would that work, legally? It's not remotely legal to force a woman to remain pregnant or have an abortion and that wont change.
So what do you propose that would make it equal?
And btw, do you think that something based on biology *can be* equal?

I'm not proposing an answer, just saying that if a man can be forced to support a child that isn't his, why can't a father force a mother to birth a child (so long as there is no foreseeable health issues) so that he can take and raise his offspring, after all, he is an equal partner, no?

Unfortunately, there is a scenario where this happens and IMO it is BS and should be changed. If a man is married to a woman and gets a divorce, and finds out that one or more of the kids isnt his, he is usually still forced to pay child support.
I cheated on you now pay for it!If your wife gets pregnant by another man during your marriage to her, I BELIEVE the child is considered yours in the courtroom.

That is a ridiculous concept. Pre-DNA testing sure, otherwise how would you ever know. Now, with the ability to determine if someone is the father?
Paternity of Children Born During a Marriagetop
Sometimes a married woman gives birth to a child whose biological father is not her husband. Although the husband is not the child’s biological parent, he is the child’s legal parent under Michigan law. The husband is the legal parent of every child born or conceived during the marriage.
The reverse is not true. If a man fathers another woman’s child while he is married, his wife is not the legal mother of that child.
As the legal father of the children born during his marriage, a husband may have custody and parenting time. He may also be responsible for providing child support and health insurance.
The biological father of such a child has no parental rights or responsibilities for the child.
