One of the latest experimental candidates for a male birth control drug is a compound that would be taken much like the daily birth control pill available for women. A pilot study presented Sunday at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting suggests that the compound—called dimethandrolone undecanoate (DMAU)—can be safe and effective in human test subjects.
[...] DMAU is meant to act on the same receptors as testosterone and progestin. But it seems to be more easily absorbed by the body and longer-lasting. That theoretically means a single dose a day (when taken with food) should cause sterility without leading to other serious consequences, the authors say.
[...] The few side effects Page's team observed were weight gain and lowered levels of HDL cholesterol (the "good" kind). But they feel a tweaked dose could alleviate these symptoms. Importantly, the pill didn't seem to cause any other lasting symptoms of low testosterone. Eight men in the treatment group did report lower libido, but the effect faded away after treatment had ended.

"The law explicitly says he does not need to pay if she raped him."
No. An employee at the Arizona Department of Economic Security says it's the current policy of that department to not file charges if she raped him. That's something quite different from the law actually saying so. His department is not the only entity which can file such a suit, and there is nothing to stop his department from changing its policy at any time as well. The law explicitly says that he can be made to pay for his genetic offspring with no regard whatsoever to the circumstances of their conception.
