@BillRM,
I would agree with you if the majority of abortions were done for medical health reasons. Unfortunately that is not the majority of abortions. If the sex was consensual why shouldn't the abortion be? The baby is not purely of the woman. If it were then I would say that men shouldn't have any say. But that isn't the case. A father rights shouldn't be denied just because he doesn't have to carry the baby. I'll say it again, if he didn't want the baby, should he be forced to pay child support? It seems when it comes to fathers they don't have any rights at all. They are either evil sperm donors, or they are meant to be cash machines. Where does a fathers right come into play?
Comfort? A woman would get an abortion because it would make her uncomfortable to be pregnant? Talk about narcissism at it's finest.
I have had some friends who have been in this position. Their fiance was pregnant and they were set to be married. She broke off the engagement and had an abortion. He wanted the child and nothing else. He would have cared for the child and it would have been 9 months out of her life. Nothing more.
I have another friend in about the same situation except she said the baby belonged to someone she had an affair with. They broke up and she married the other guy. 10 years later she and the state of CO came after him for 5 years of child support "she was owed" from when she divorced he ex husband. A woman lied and a man walked away. 10 years later she comes asking for money for a child she said wasn't his. They took DNA tests and it was his daughter. He agreed to the payments if he could see the daughter. The ex said no and he didn't get to see the kid but was still forced to pay.
Can you explain where the fathers rights were in all of this?
