In the civilised world yes, but not in large parts of the USA. Though 4 months of maternity leave is federally mandated, it does not apply to small companies, and it only applies if the woman has been working there for a year.
From Wikipedia: "In the United States, since 1978, employers are legally bound to provide the same insurance, leave pay, and additional support that would be bestowed upon any employee with medical leave or disability. This only applies to companies with 15 or more employees (including part-time and temporary workers)."
I also have issues with putting that many kids up for adoption because the current system couldn't handle it, that can be fixed but that will cost money, and a lot of it. I also think it's cruel to the kid, but that is subjective. Plus there is the whole fact that it is an inconvenience and risk to the mother.
Also I don't get the whole taking responsibility argument. You wouldn't argue that skydivers should take responsibility and jump without parachutes would you? And even if you would who would suggest a compromise of each jump with a parachute counting as a strike? Getting an abortion is taking responsibility.
