Men have birth control options as well as women. The most affordable being condoms. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-...-22600.htm
Women still get more choices. There are more birth control options for women than there are for men, most of those options for women involve something you do long before the sex act so you don't have to worry about getting caught unprepared and the options can certainly be less expensive than condoms (although, if you get a gay friend or two, I'm sure they can go into a gay district and find condoms all over the place there for free).
Then, after sex happens, if she gets pregnant, the woman still has choices; and she should. She can keep the baby, she can put it up for adoption or she can get an abortion. What choices does the man have? He can generally choose whether he's going to see the baby, but if she wants child support, there's no out for him, whether he can afford it or not. And there hasn't been a whole lot of push for men to have a right to choose, especially not from the feminist front.
And, it seems to me, if we're going to fight for a womans right to choose, and we should, then isn't it only fair for us to fight for a mans right to choose as well?
