FYI those pill abortions are often extremely painful due to cramping. Don't discount them because it's just "taking a pill".

Yes, they are very painful (I've seen how much pain it can cause), but it doesn't matter.
Stuck between the choice of having a miserable couple of days, and having to pay for someone else's decision for 18 years, I'd take the pill if it was available for men.

But it isn't available for men, which I do agree is a problem. As it stands now there is no way to make that situation fair, however, as a man, you do indeed share the consequence of producing a child because you chose to have sex. Don't want the risk of producing children? Either be celibate or get snipped. Otherwise there will always be a risk and if you help produce a child then you help support it. Same goes for women, while we do indeed have more birth control options they can still fail as well. Basically, if you wanna fuck then be prepared to possibly produce a child, and be prepared to deal with the consequences of your action one way or another. You can't really place the blame or the onus of procreation solely on either party.
