Could we maybe come up with ways to make it more fair perhaps?

Here's one idea for unmarried couples. I think a marriage contract assumes an acceptance of responsibility for kids within the contract.

1. Woman finds out she's pregnant.
2. She has a reasonable amount of time to attempt to notify any or all potential fathers.
3. Father has reasonable amount of time to sign an agreement accepting responsibility for child or declining it.
4. Woman is given man's decision and then makes her reproductive choice solely by herself armed with the information of whether she will have a partner helping her with the kid or not.

That's not completely fair as the man could still have his wanted child terminated, but it's a lot more fair than the current system of "My body, My choice, Our responsibility."

Other ideas to make the system at least closer to fair?
