If a woman can abort by herself, over the objections of a baby's father, why should the baby's father be obligated to that which the law told him he could not save?
Of course women don't get pregnant by themselves. Why do some only recall that fact when doing so garners them cash?
Interesting point of view. I'll let the custodial fathers know of your stance. In their case, it's "mother as slave," huh?

Supposedly the child support is for the purpose of taking care of the children. However there is no accounting. Once the mother gets the money she can do any damn thing she wants to with it.
Here are my observations:
Women are far more venomous at making false accusations in court. Men rarely do so. Such things affect the judge.
In general judges for whatever reason seem to be prejudicial against the husband. They are also anxious to throw the man in jail - which is hardly practical since you cant make child support payments from jail.
Women have the ability to take the man to court multiple times and the judge will inevitably award attorneys fees.
If the man has custody it is another game.
The woman can with good legal advice avoid going to court for a long period of time. If you ever get a judgment against her - provided you have the money for legal fees - she can go back to court and claim some form of change of circumstances. That strategy wont work for the man. Once you get a judgment the situation is generally handled by the lower people in the legal system. Those are without doubt feminist women. As in well have someone call you back - yeah Im still waiting. The alternative is to go back to court and ask for an enforcement of the judgment. Do you realize how fast attorneys fees can add up? Do you realize how many times you can go back to court to enforce a judgment? The woman can bleed you dry and the court system doesnt care - or else it regards its job as providing work for attorneys.
And then it isnt over. There is no limit to the number of times she can take you back to court to get custody back.
As far as I can tell the system is set up to punish the father.
If you are involved in one of these messes, never ever miss a court appointment because the judge will automatically award whatever the wife will ask for. Even then its not that simple. I flew half way across the country for a deposition only to have the wifes attorney cancel the deposition an hour ahead of time. There are many other games. You just have to look out for them. They are designed to wear you down and bankrupt you.
