I certainly wouldn't base a law on that, but I'm talking about situations where a mother is probably left alone with the decision. If both parents have an interest in the child I think they should of course both be part of the decision, whatever that decision may be.

In any case, under your idea of making woman the sole decision-maker when it comes to bringing children into the world, please justify the concept of child support.
For example, let's say a child is the result of an one-night stand. If the woman has the complete decision upon whether or not to bring that pregnancy to term, how can you justify the man being accountable for ANY of the responsibility of that decision?

I'm not sure if I understand you right, do you mean that leaving the decision to abort or not to the woman is somehow making a man not responsible for his choice to not use contraceptives (I know there are no 100% safe contraceptives)?
If the woman conceived despite him using a condom, or other contraceptive measures, I indeed cannot justify the concept of child support, and I thought long about it, and I don't like that at all. So thanks for opening my eyes.
