151. The man's right to choose
Here's my idea.

If an unmarried couple has a pregnancy, the woman must inform the father within a certain amount of time.

The father then has a certain short amount of time to fill out a legal form informing the mother that he will A) recognize and support the baby, or B) not recognize or support the baby.

With that affadavit in hand, the woman has 100 % of the right to make the decision of whether the baby is born, aborted or adopted away.

The purpose of the affadavit is

1. No woman is ever forced to be a mother against her wishes.
2. No man is ever forced to be a father against his wishes.
3. Decisions are made up front in the open with accurate information.

This is the most fair way I can come up with to try to allow the man and woman to decide for themselves when they become parents.
