Should a man have a say in whether his wife or girlfriend has an abortion?

someone's kills my baby without my approval. she is as good as dead herself to me.

IF and thats a big IF HE, (the father) accepts his responsibility. Remember now, there are men out there who actually do WANT to be fathers.

what about the baby? all everyone is talking about here is MONEY, paying child support. babies are kinda cool, they turn into kids which are fun and.. they even love you unconditionally! I'd be lost without my boys. I'm glad I don't believe in abortion-FOR MYSELF.

There is no such thing as unconditional love. They love you on the condition that you treat them well. Start feeding your boys cardboard sandwiches and smacking 'em around everyday and see how long that unconditional love lasts.

lol... it sucks being plugged up for 10 months... ever try it???

I'd gladly trade.

well, no, according to mother nature that is your role, so suck it up. you'll carry for 11 months if need be and like it.

No, men shouldnt have the decision to abort
but they should have a decision on wether or not to be a part of the kids life. and if he does not want to and the girl chooses to keep the child. then you cannot give me ONE solid reason that the man should be financially responsible for what the woman decides.

Too many young mens lives are ruined by rash decisions made by confused young girls who have no buisiness raising a child anyhow
I wish there was mandatory counseling for these kids to show them other alternatives such as adoption. would save alot of broken homes and broken lives.

I'm kind of a bitch about this issue (as I have major, major issues with men screwing around in female reproductive rights), but addressing strictly the abortion aspect, no, the guy doesn't need a say, and my reasoning is very basic: women still, even in the west, die in childbirth (although the numbers are very, very low). No man should be able to force a woman to go through pregnancy and delivery if she doesn't want to.

HOWEVER, I also agree with what Wulfgar is saying, if the guy doesn't want a kid, and the woman DOES, he should be able to "opt out" of the kid's life, sign some document that says, "sperm donor only." I don't think it's fair that there are bitches out there who coerce men into something they don't want.

Essentially, I don't think ANYBODY, male or female, should ever be saddled with an unwanted child. I think there wouldn't be quite so many "accidental" pregnancies if guys had an ironclad way to say, DIDN'T WANT IT, DON'T WANT IT, AIN'T PAYING FOR IT.
