Wouldn't creating paper abortions for men fix this?
Well, sort of.
It would fix it for anyone who chose not to become a (legal) father. For those who DO want to be a (legal) father, the poverty trap still remains. There's an argument that they consciously chose to inflict themselves with the poverty trap though, instead of being based on the choices of a third party over which they have no input.
Then theres also the fact that women often abuse these fucked up laws for their own gain, screwing over the man from seeing his kid, and making him spend way more than is necessary in the process. (I know all of this because after my father left she screwed him over and had him court mandated to provide 21% of his income to me and my brother as child support. Money he is still having to pay even for my 19 year old brother, who isn't emancipated yet under the state law)
