What would you do in cases of rape, molestation and cases where birth control was used and it failed? None of these scenarios are the woman's fault in any way. Would you still force her to have it?

Sure, exceptions for rape and molestation. Those cases are exceedingly rare. I want to say it's less than 1%. As for failed birth control, risk is inherent in everything you do. With proper education and contraceptive availability, people who engage in recreational sex should be willing to assume the risk that comes with it. This includes the man AND the woman. People that engage in any risky behavior need to assume the consequences. Dudes who get herpes live for that the rest of their life. Why should a baby be different? Because we can kill it?

Why pick and chose which risky behavior consequences you address or don't?

Driving is a risk, but we don't ignore those consequences 
Drinking is a risk, but we don't ignore those consequences 
Eating sugary food is a risk, but we don't ignore those consequences 

So why do we suddenly draw the line at the risk associated with sex?
