Legally, no.
But the issue extends far beyond just what a woman chooses to do with her body. It involves the conception of a life that stems from the romantic interaction of a man and a woman. The sovereignty of a woman's body, in regard to abortions, is no longer valid after she has engaged in sex. He has just as much responsibility for that baby as she does, responsibilities they both should have considered before having sex.
While he cannot endanger the life of the woman, he has an equal stake in the future of that child, which could not exist without both parties being equally involved.

Legally, if the father knows, he can contest an abortion in court. But there is no law requiring the woman tell the father she intends to get an abortion. If the father finds out after the fact, there is nothing he can do.

No, but men have actually sued for women saying they can't get pregnant, then they do and the father is then sued for child support. The father then asserts that he should not be liable for support because of the false pretenses. However no court that I know of has actually ruled in favor of the father.

"unfortunately , no. The baby is 100% hers and 0% his. But they always complain about being discriminated against. .....right"
I dissagree with that. i say YES, the baby is both parents' responsibility.

Currently no, but there has been and still are cases currently in the court system challenging this ruling.
