Can a woman solely go ahead with the decesion to terminate or give birth by ignoring the fathers decesion in case of a dispute?
If the reason is that he should have been more careful and kept it in his pants as women seem to point out then what about the woman should she have refused to have unprotected sex in the first place?
Or is this how entrapment works for men?
For one careless night of passion you either pay or go to jail solely on the deceion of the woman?

OK what if the Woman did NOT set out to trap the Man. did NOT even plan on doing anything with the man. but at a weak time in her life she made a MISTAKE and did something STUPID. after being smacked around by her parents and makes a MISTAKE that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
He wants her to abort she said no. has the Baby and never asks him for ONE DIME EVER. is that entrapment? the father wants nothing to do with the child. there are women who do things for different reason. NOT ALL woman go after men to hurt them you know. oh what's the use I'll never be able to explain anything without being judged by what a few other women do so I GIVE UP!!!!

The man makes his choice when he elects to have sexual intercourse. If the man doesn't want a child, then he can forgo "one careless night of passion" or he can use a condom. (Even if the woman says she is using birth control, he should use a condom.) There is no entrapment involved. It is completely his decision.
Since the man isn't the one who can get pregnant, that is as far as he goes in the decision-making process.
If a woman becomes pregnant, it is her right to terminate the pregnancy or have the baby. Women still die in childbirth or have any number of other health problems related to pregnancy or labor and delivery so a man cannot force a woman to risk her health for an unwanted child.
On the other hand, a man cannot force a woman to terminate a pregnancy because she may want the baby and/or believe abortion is wrong. The father is (partially) financially responsible for this child. This is 18 years of responsibility versus a minute to put on a condom. The decision is yours.

The only inequality in that is the fact that men can't "abort" their responsibilities. A man has no right to make a woman abort or not to abort, it isn't his body. OTOH, I think that a man should be able to say "I don't want the responsibility" and be able to sign away any rights to that child, and the woman shouldn't be able to force him to do what he doesn't want to do. I won't get into the finer points involving BC methods and all that, but if a man knows that he doesn't want the responsibility of children, he is responsible for finding ways to prevent him ever impregnating a woman in the first place. If he does want kids, he should wait to go unprotected until he finds a woman that has his same views.

You have to take responsibility for your own risk-taking behavior.
If you don't want to get a girl pregnant, the best course of action is to not have sex with her! The funny thing about human reproduction is this: nature finds a way. Despite the best methods of birth control available, sometimes pregnancy still occurs. If you don't want to "pay", don't "play."
Hopefully, if you find yourself in a situation where you've got someone pregnant, hopefully she will be willing to fully consider your desires before making any kind of decision about birth, adoption, or abortion. When it does come right down to it, though, it is her body, not yours, so she's going to have the "final word", whether you agree with that or not.
If you don't want to be faced with this kind of situation, protect yourself, or abstain (probably the best choice) from having sex with someone you don't intend to be with or have a family with. Because odds are, if you sleep together long enough, she WILL eventually end up pregnant. So, consider your choices (and their possible consequences) very carefully before you make them.

I'm sorry if I got this wrong but I don't think you were asking if abortion was right or wrong. You were wondering why it would be only the woman's choice to have or abort the baby. I think in most cases it's because it's her body. I also think in most cases when the baby is aborted it is done without the "fathers" knowledge. However like some have said, if you play and she keeps it you pay. It does seem like they hold all the aces in this deck.

If a woman wants an abortion, I believe it is best for her to keep it quiet, including to the father. If she wants to have a baby with him, she'll do it when she's ready. But a child will need some kind of support from both parents, so the father has more of a say if she doesn't abort.

A womn does have the right to abort regardless...I beleive there ahve benn cases where the father took it to court..in this case though, it has to move quickly as the pregnancy will progress and get more complicated.
The man is just as responsible if she chooses to have it,,,one night of pleasure can be a lifetime committment want it or not..This is why a man should NEVER trust a female saying she is on the pill,,,regardless of a long term reltiaonship....she may forget to take it...pill not right for her and not effective.
so the bottom line,,,,always protect yourself first and foremost. and remember,,,condems do break so back up with spermicide,,,,
sad but true,,,,,,responsible bahvior can decrease chances of oopsy...

There's nothing wrong with you carrying condoms with you, if you're planning to have unprotected sex with someone as a one-night-stand.
If you are not married to the woman, it is all up to her. The law is on her side regarding to do as she pleases with her own body. Once the child is born, however, the father (whether he wanted to be one or not) is still responsible for helping to provide for the child.
You wanna play...you gotta pay. Besides, why would you even dream of having unprotected sex with a stranger? That's dangerous.

It shouldnt be right. Abortion in and of itself should be illeagle unless the birth of the child may cause harm to the woman. If you dont want the child then give it up for adoption or somthing but dont kill it because despite what sooo many feminists say it is a child and its wrong to kill it.

Where is equality if a man can tell a woman what to do with her body?
In case of dispute, only ONE person can "win." In this case, it MUST be the person whose body is affected.
In no other case can a person force another person to have a medical procedure/not have a medical procedure against their will. Abortion/pregnancy are no exceptions.
