When one refers to "choice", does it means womens choice only?

I mean, is there a "choice" for a man in the relationship when the couple finds out the woman is pregnant? Does the man get to choose whether to have the baby or not?
Sure, in a perfect world, both people would discuss it rationally and come to a mutual decision, but in most cases, especially when the mans desire is opposite the womans, it is the womans decision.
As a pro-choice-er myself, I think thats the way it has to work, but what about when the woman wants to keep the baby and the man does not? That is a lifelong obligation that the man has no say in. Please dont give me the old "he should of thought of that before he had sex...." line, cause the last time I checked, it took two. (And Im not talking cases of rape or incest here, folks)
