Yeah like I sympathize with people in that position until they try to ban abortion or feel they should have a legal say in whether or not someone else remains pregnant.

In this case though, I think it is still lying on purpose. This situation still happens with similar regularity because having an abortion when your partner wants to keep it isn’t something often done lightly. More of a common scenario now is men whose partner and them both want an abortion, but the risk or cost of pursuing it is too high so they’re stuck with a kid neither wanted.
