Rethinking paternity fraud and reproductive rights.

In a previous thread I ruffled some feathers posting the following, can't be bothered to find what it in reply to it was no doubt some bleating about deadbeat dads and victimless single mothers bleh:
Quote:
With contraception abound, conceiving is a choice.
With abortion legal and safe, remaining pregnant is a choice.
With the vast majority of no-fault divorces initiated by women, becoming a single mother, more often than not, is a choice.
If you get pregnant by a man who then leaves you and your kid and you genuinely didn't choose to be a single mother, that's still partially your fault for choosing the wrong guy.
Personal Responsibility. Live with the choices you've made and stop blaming men for everything.

Lo and behold, the same video series I've been slogging though has some choice opinions on the topic. Enjoy
Especially agree with the first, paternity fraud is pretty much the worst thing you can do to a man.

Ok, I get that paternity fraud is betrayal of trust etc, etc. However, couldn't women make similar arguments about married men who have affairs and get other women pregnant without her knowledge? In that case, he may also end up being legally obliged to support the children of those other women, and given that the children he had with his wife may also be dependent on his income, I just don't see how such deceitful women are any less destructive the family than deceitful men.
