Yes.
In the UK, if you are married when your children are born, you both automatically have parental rights. If you are not married, then you have to apply for parental responsibility rights, if the mother does not want to share that with you. This can be done by court order. After 2003, if not married but father is written on the birth certificate, that is enough to have parental responsibility and all that that entails. Not sure how it is for you guys in the USA!
Yes, equal to the mother.
If DNA confirms a man is child's father, the father will have a few decisions to make. The father can assume responsibility for the child and work together with the mother for the sake of the child, or the father can sign over his parental right to the mother, and choose to have no further contact with the child.
No. That can only be done by a court order.

The law regarding parental responsibility in England changed on December 1, 2003, with the introduction of the Adoption and Children Act 2002. This act allowed unmarried fathers to acquire parental responsibility for their children, provided they were named on the birth certificate or had a Parental Responsibility Agreement with the mother. In other jurisdictions, such as Scotland, different laws apply, but the concept of parental responsibility has evolved over time in various legal frameworks.
The same rights as women to abort their responsibility for a child. Any such move has to be approved by the courts and the mother, provided she's not on Welfare. see link

No, it's however the parents agree at the time of separation. The court papers will indicate how it should be done. == ==
Custody, not parental rights.
a parental guardian
In England and Wales all fathers named on birth certificates after 2004?(I think it's 04!), have automatic parental responsibility, so unless there is a specific court order determining contact and/or residence, then NO it's not kidnap (but if the child was born before that date, then it is kidnap unless you have a parental responsibility/agreement)
