    No states give men the right to not be a father. They’re along for whatever ride the woman chooses

        Which don’t protect them in cases of rape or reproductive coercion. Vasectomies are a form of permanent sterilization with dubious reversal rates.

        That’s also ignoring how there are fewer options for birth control, in no small part due to biological differences (read: hormones).

      Men have the exact same right to abandon and refuse to raise their child that women do. This right is not always respected in American courts, but the same laws that protect her if he doesn’t want to help also should protect him if she just wants to drop the baby and run.

      And if she sabotaged the condom, stole his sperm for IVF,.or similarly took action to concieve against his wishes, then she committed a crime and should be punished. But not the child.

      As far as the law or justice cares, babies could be delivered by storks.
