As of now in most places (U.S.), a woman has the right to choose whether or not to let her pregnancy come to term. A man doesn't. If a man wants the pregnancy to come to term, he can be overruled by the woman. However, if the man doesn't want to be a father, he still has to support the person born for 18 years, if the woman chooses to give birth.

So should a man have say in this? Is it fair that he can't opt out if he wishes?

Discuss!

It's going to be her responsibility. He should not have a say in what happens, legally. Couples with unplanned pregnancies usually have this discussion beforehand anyway. Women don't just jump into abortion. Mostly they have no better option.

Default The child is an individual human being. Is that child's body not its own?

man has absolute rights to that child as the woman made a contract with him when she participated in the conception. It is irresponsible to share your body, knowing the potential for conception and then claim sole ownership.

that is his offspring, carrying his dna, darn right he has a say! and a responsibility to that child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To follow the logic, women should have no say in anything involving men, that is the stuff of the taliban.

Want diversity and reject involvement of men re abortion and birth???????????????

An alternate perspective is valuable especially when it comes to complex issues.

As Liberal as I am I do believe a Man should have a say in such a important decision as well.
The issues that arise from this brings up some serious questions though.
Was this pregnancy a result of a "casual fling" or are we looking at a serious long term relationship?
How committed is this "couple" to bringing up & raising a child"?
Sex is a responsibility.

You guys don't even know what a man or a woman is. Next thing you know AOC and her squad will be giving pregnancy test to a man

Of course I know what a Man or a Woman is.

Men can be pregnant too. This thread smacks of transphobia.

Couldn’t rep you again. People need to be mindful of the proper pronoun use and be inclusive of other identities…or else!

Since we agree it's a baby, why should the female be in a position to end the child's life?

18 years of court-ordered child support payments = responsibility, no?

Adoption isn't a better option?
