He's not the one who made the baby, so why blame him? He didn't force the
woman to become pregnant. You should focus your righteous indignation at
the woman having unprotected sex and then aborting the baby because it is
inconvenient.

When it is his to care for. Why should others pay for the inconveniences of
those who choose to have unprotected sex? If the woman doesn't want the
child, she should be more careful.

Good grief. Why should Jeff care for someone else's "mistake?"

Your silly notion that Jeff is somehow responsible for some woman aborting
her child is bizarre.
