If a woman becomes pregnant and she is lucky enough to have a man who wants to help care for her during the pregnancy and the child afterward then I think he should have just as many rights as the mother as to whether the fetus is aborted or not. But let's turn the table and say the father wants the mother to abort the fetus and she doesn't want to, then what happens?
No matter the topic, there will always be dilemmas attached to it as long as it involves humans.

In your day what do you think the percentage was? I would be inclinded to believe there were far more willing to take that responcibility then not. I think that still holds true today.

On that same thought it is also just as hard to prove the man to be the one responcible. As per the charactor of the female. You cannot assume that the horror stories you hear in the MSM is the status quo. They are far from it.

Lucky? Most guys i know have done what is right by social standards. Not that is stays that way but it is a two way street.
In any case, why is it predominant on your standard of how a male should act responcible as to when and if he should be granted "as many rights as the mother?" Are they not equal?

Is that not within his right? If they are equal? Why can she decide to abort and not he?
I've said before, the ultimate decision is up to the women. She is who will bare most of the burden. But if things are taken into mutual consideration as it has been proven through time. Alot of children are born. Most womem chose to bare children. Regardless of circumstance. A small minority chose otherwise.

Agreed.
