How can you "not allow" a child to be born, without forcing an abortion?
Forced sterilization comes to mind, at least before the fact.
I'm pretty sure that's not OK with me either.
When a man has to carry that child and nourish it from his own lifeblood -- literally from his own life's blood -- then that man has a say in whether or not the child is or is not carried to term.
Until then, us men should be silent, and that is only right. We don't suffer the indignities of pregnancy, and we goddamned sure don't risk our lives giving birth.

The man gave his consent going in without a wrapper. That is the tradeoff for avoiding the pangs of pregnancy and childbirth.
You're a man? Great. If you want a piece of ass and don't want a child, take responsibility for your own behavior. Don't fuck her, use a condom, get a vasectomy, or make damned sure she's remembered her pill.
But don't shoot off inside her unless you've taken precautions, or are ready to pay the bills, because that is what owning your behavior entails. And being a man is about owning your behavior.
