The difference is that the US has some of the most permissive abortion laws in the world, and has had them since the early 1970s. It is no longer true that “woman gets pregnant = baby is born.”
The only way that “financial abortion” becomes “unfair “ to the woman is in a society wherein abortion is illegal. But since woman demanded - and received - the right to abort every single pregnancy since 1973, it is disingenuous for feminists to act as if allowing men to have the ability to opt out of the responsibilities of parenthood (like they can) will result in women and infants dead in ditches due to the “irresponsibility” of the men those same women spread their legs for.
I would sincerely like to understand why people continue to use that pointless expression. Is it supposed to be clever? It's just hard to understand how that could be seen as anything other than a hackneyed attempt at humor.

I've just never seen anything of value that is proceeded by the phrase "Um. No."
Do you honestly not realize that it makes you sound completely retarded?
