I already weighed in but there's another thing I want to mention. You covered it sonewhat in your second to last bullet point, but the asymmetry is really out here, getting a (medical) abortion is scary. We're not going to see the end of patriarchy for a while and part of that means men are just not going to be emotionally literate and up to speed on the woman's experience. Men will decide their parenthood by the signing of a hypothetical contract, women have to decide their parenthood by a highly stigmatized and sometimes invasive medical procedure that is frequently associated with trauma, guilt, and shame. It's not the reason we should have forced parenthood for fathers, but it absolutely helps in the decision making process that fathers have serious weight to consider in their decisions too.
