And how would you feel if he made a decision by himself to abort, and punched you in the stomach, causing premeditated abortion of the baby? Because thats exactly what you are advertising in a vice versa scenario. Something tells me you wouldnt like it very much.
Again seems your reacting emotionally not logically as she stated 'her body her decision' so clearly the guy has no say in whether she has an abortion or whether she doesn't have an abortion.
Wasn't she in a coma and the father wanted to keep the baby but her parents wanted to terminate it? I remember something like that in the news a while back.
I don't think that's the one I'm thinking about. I did find one but it was in the UK, so that might have been the one I heard about.
Well wouldn't that be assault??? I would think she could have him arrested for assaulting her. Why would someone risk that?
Im just trying to illustrate what that would feel like, excluding the other parent from making a sensible decision together. He would be locked up for assaulting her, just like a woman who gets an abortion without notifying the man, should. Its common sense really.
Well, if that's the case, why don't guys do this more often? I keep seeing guys getting put in jail for non-support, but if all they have to do is sign over all rights, why aren't they doing that?
Possibly because many guys are unaware of this or male pride in having a child even when they have no desire to support the child or be a part of the child's life. In my experience most guys don't behave logically or rationally despite the lamenting on how guys are logical/rational or more so than gals.
I would also like to point out that those of you who say pregnancy is a medical concern must also be aware that abortion can be devastating to the body and the soul. Yes?
It depends on the circumstances. If they were in a stable relationship then I would say they make the decision together. If it's a one night stand or casual relationship then the woman should do what she feels is right for her. Realistically however if a woman decides she wants an abortion, no man can tie her up and make her carry the baby. She is not an incubator.
I agree completely.
It's rather amazing that anyone would assume they have control over someone else's body for 9 months just because of a birth control failure.

Of course it is. I'm not denying that. That's why I think it should be left up to the woman. If you force her to do something with her body that she doesn't want to do, it's going to be devastating either way.
And FTR I am pro-choice but I am personally, absoltely against abortion. I would never do it, no matter what the circumstances.
However, having 4 difficult pregnancies and a few nightmare deliveries, I don't believe anyone should ever be forced to go through it.

Seems more like a strawman argument with logic leap playing on emotions rather than logic.
He could be locked up for assaulting her just like she could be locked up for assaulting him as both are against the law. Depending on the state a gal can get an abortion without notifying the guy and it's completely legal.
Your comparison is lacking as his body isn't going through anything she's still the one being forced to carry the baby or forced to abort the baby.
