2012 U.S. Presidential Election

Abortion is such a weird issue. I could never justify forcing someone to bring up a foetus they did not wish to conceive (e.g. by rape), and therefore support the right to abortion in essence and in law, but the idea of killing an unborn child is nonetheless abhorrent. It sucks. Also, do men have any rights in regards to their unborn children? It seems not. It's an interesting topic.

I.e. If I hypothetically get my girlfriend pregnant, she has the last word on what happens to my unborn child and I have approximately zero say in the matter.

And this strikes me as doubly problematic because, if my hypothetical girlfriend keeps the baby, I am then, as a male, liable for eighteen years of child support payments. And yet I have no say. Something is fucked up here but I'm not sure what the solution is.
