I'm not trying to be a jerk. I am not suggesting that men should not be financially responsible for the children they sire. I am simply pointing out what I consider to be inconsistent.

I don't necessarily see this as inconsistent, the man's choice just comes a bit earlier when deciding to participate in the procreative act - there are always risks invovlved, I don't think it too far a stretch to make men responsible for the risks they take.
