The argument I've seen is that the kid is the loser in this scenario. Because regardless of what the father wants, if a child is born, it needs to be supported. Not holding the father financially responsible would ultimately punish the child.

I follow you there, but you should ask yourself this:

So when women drop children off at the fire station... The kids are still the losers?

I'd say a reasonable person, following the logic of your arguments, would say "yes."

Realistically, the government picks up the financial burden for these kids.

So why, then, do we allow women to push the financial responsibility of parenthood onto the government, but we do not allow men to do the same?
