I would think that men would WANT this---why rely on a woman who may or may not be truthful about being on The Pill? Why find yourself in a situation 8 months down the road where you're notified "By the way, I got pregnant, you're the dad, it's due in a month, and you're going to pay"---Just take the pill (or shot) yourself and then you have NO excuse for an 'unplanned' pregnancy that occured when you "thought" or "she said" she was on the pill.

Men aren't the only ones who might not be entirely honest about their status, and people do make mistakes, so double or triple redundancy is not an unreasonable idea when it comes to something this important. Not to mention the fact that many guys wouldn't be comfortable with the possibility that they had a child they didn't know about. Random, unplanned pregnancy isn't just a nightmare for women.
