Question

If he does have the right to pro test it and the mother has the child should the father be the one who is responsible for the child???
Lets be respectful on the mens behalf please....
It may be a woman's body but she didn't make the child all by herself.... Womans rights and mens rights....equality

Babs 2319 in answer to your question I am Pro choice I do believe that there are appropiate reasons to bet and abortion over reason but it is ultimatley up to the mother it is her body however, if the father shows much interest in wanting to keep the child and take care of it and the mothers life is not indangered then i believe that arrangements should be made..hope i answered your question

Answer 1

I think ultimately the woman has the final say, because it is her body and the reality is fathers leave all the time.

However I strongly feel both people, mother and father should throughly discuss what options they have. If the father protest the abortion, then yes he should be the primary care provider for that child. If he wants her to have the baby so he can be in and out of the childs life, I believe that is something the mom and dad, need to discuss in more detail and decide what is most fair the fetus, and their lives.

Answer 2

Really men have no right to tell a women what she should do with her body. If a women is pregnant and choose not to have the child that is her choice. He is not the one who has to carry the child for nine months we do. Now in my situation I didn't want to have the baby but I couldn't afford to pay for an abortion so now I'm pretty much stuck and the guy got me pregnant on purpose and wouldn't help pay for the abortion. If she does have the child I would most definitely send the baby to live with it's father for the first 6 months so he knows how it feels to wake up in the middle of the night to feed a crying baby and change dirty diapers so next time he'll take a second thought about what he wants and don't want and realize why some women have abortions when there not mentally or financial ready to have children.

Answer 3

IF there were a man willing to take responsibility? Yes, he should have a say about what happens to the child he helped create, but he would also need to be prepared to take FULL responsibility for the child if the woman really doesn't want to.....
I do not think in the arena of "right of choice" women and men's rights are equal, yes it is a woman's body, that is not a big issue to me, the issue for me is the "staying power" of the man to fulfill his portion of the responsibilities......and I am sorry to say, not many men do have that......and a woman NEEDS to take ALL this and more into consideration......
Wouldn't birth control be so much easier? I understand mistakes, and horrific occurrences....outside of that there really is no excuse for how often abortion is abused....(except laziness and stupidity)....I am pro-choice BTW

Answer 4

Forget it. A man should have no rights unless he is legally married to the Mother of his child BEFORE she gets pregnant. That way, the woman & child have a better chance of being taken care of & the man is less likely to abandon his responsibilities as a Father & Husband. There are too many people running around making babies & fighting over things like this. A man can protest all he wants, but in the end, it is the woman who bears all the responsibility for herself & her child...born OR unborn, terminated OR to term. If a man wants some rights, he should treat a woman right & not have sex that could result in a pregnancy without being married to her first!

Answer 5

If a man wants to protest that's fine. But I believe that unless he's actually carrying the fetus for 9ish months he has no say in what happens in my body. I don't mean this to be rude but men, in my experience, often say they will help (financially or otherwise) and back out later. There are exceptions and I think a woman should DISCUSS it with the father of her unborn child but the final say is hers alone.

Answer 6

I guess that would be nice for the man to have the say but you can't really tell a woman who doesn't want to have the child or go through the whole pregnancy that she has too. It pretty much comes down to the woman which is hard if the man really wants the baby, because it is her body.

Answer 7

There's simply no good answer to this. On one hand, a woman being able to abort a man's unborn child is, honestly, just as wrong as a man being able to force a woman to abort a child that she wants. At the same time, I believe it's wrong to take away a woman's choices regarding her own body and its contents just because a man she boinked tells her to (of course, this is as wrong as forcing a man to pay child support on a child he wanted to abort, but that's a different argument).

So basically, there's absolutely no decent answer to this question. The only universally conscionable advice regarding this is: if you don't want a child, don't have sex without reliable birth control. This is the sort of dilemma that cannot be solved, only prevented.

Answer 8

okay just so you know this is a great question for me to answer. I think in my opinion that the father of the unborn child should have a right to protest an abortion,but I do think that he should be the one to have the responsibility of the child once it is born .BUT this leads to a question I need to ask you? In Your opinion it is the girls body what if she is wanting an abortion to avoid weight gain and sterch marks please answer in added comments for me .

Answer 9

The father should have the same rights as the mother, the child would be both of theirs, therefor the decision should fall on both the mother and the father.

Answer 10

to be truly equal yes he would have the right to keep the child and the mother to pay child support , the man has no decision if you were to reverse the situation and would have to pay support
