And what if the couple do not agree? Who gets the deciding vote?

Because while both parties are responsible for the pregnancy, only the woman is responsible for the birth. The man has no rights when it comes to the birth, and as I said before, isn't even a father until the government steps in and makes it a crime for the woman to have an abortion after a certain point.

Until then, he's little more than a potential source of income should the woman decide to go through with the birth.

They agreed to be a couple...some even agree to enter into formal marriage...and some even agree on what to have for dinner...If two people are in love they will agree to what is best...and in most cases life becomes better for people who have a child...it is an enriching experience and the adventure of a life time...In my case my wife had ONE abortion that I attempted to block.....after all these years I figured out why...it may have been a pregnancy due to an affair...After the abortion she almost immediately got pregnant with my youngest son.


There was a panic on her part - due to what I surmised was the loss of credibility and honor...I communicated with the abortion provider and suggested that I sue him...within hours I had to large cops in my house giving me a pro-choice lecture..This was years ago - What was odd - was when my youngest son was born I attended and assisted in the birth..at the last minute a doctor entered - unknown to him - was the fact that I was the guy who threatened to sue him..It was strange as I watched the abortionist deliver my living son....

You ask who is to get the deciding vote? It would depend on the level of honesty....There was no decision...My wife was losing her mind - It was her choice to safe face and to save herself...oddly if she had continued with the pregnancy - my youngest son would never have been born...Behind most abortions there are reasons that never come to light...such as in my case.

oh lookee, regular woman hater chimes in.

Forget that his specialty wasn't OB/GYN (he was a pediatric doctor; general practice)
forget that he probably didn't have women who needed to have an abortion to save her life, because he stopped being a doctor in 1981, the height of anti-abortion sentiment in America and he was a big opponent to abortion.

Yeah in his 36 years, that ended in 1981. Can you provide the statistics of women needing abortion in the 32 years since?


Oh lookee more informed experts say BS:

Sometimes it is about saving face and not saving the mother's life.

a woman could have abortion because that day, there was a rainstorm, and that's all the reason she needed. Still none of your business.

Depends on the situation, when my fiancee and I decide to have a child, I will be more than just a source of income, I will be a loving father and husband for a family that we have planned together.

If this is your outlook on children, then I suggest you shouldn't have sex at all, the risks are too dangerous for you.
