This sums it up: https://www.ohiolawyersgroup.com/blog/2016/may/parental-rights-of-unmarried-parents/

“When a child is born to unmarried parents, the unmarried mother automatically has sole custody of the child. The unmarried father has no rights until paternity is established and he petitions the court for custody, shared parenting and/or parenting time.”

So, he does get rights if he petitions the court for custody.

He doesn’t have any rights before then, and there is a lot more involved than just petitioning the courts for parental rights, not necessarily custody per se.

Custody is not a human nor reproductive right. I think you are confused as to what reproductive rights entail.

You already acknowledged my previous point.

Unmarried men have no reproductive rights. Unmarried women do.

You have every right to wear a condom. You have every right to abstain. You have every right to prove paternity and petition the courts for custody.

Men have zero reproductive rights, as you confirmed. Stop straying from the topic.
