But she doesn't, that's the point. She can just kill the kid to escape the consequences, regardless of what the man wants.
There aren't very many states in which you can abort past the first trimester unless it is therapeutic, meaning the mother's life is at risk.
And the few places it is allowed (Kansas is it I think) can regulate abortion past the first trimester as they see fit.
Prior to the first trimester anything there just isn't viable or a human being yet, however as technology improves and viability becomes earlier (than the first trimester) the issue will be open for debate again.
Roe v. Wade was a good ruling because it anticipated the future.
