If a man is so selfish that he doesn't respect the wishes of his partner, perhaps he should find a different parter who would be more in the same playing field with him. I think this is a lot of the reason so many men are so passionately pro-life; which again, doesn't make much sense to me, since they themselves can't get pregnant. The day that a man gets pregnant, then I say that the scales will tip more into an equal region, and at that time, some more opposition from the man may become more relevant. I'll check out your suggestion! Bugboy, I think that there are “rights” for the father, but ultimately, it is the woman’s main decision; it is her body, and she who has to undergo the pregnancy.

Any rights there for the father? I say this: the decision is the woman's, and so is most of the responsibility for getting pregnant. I recommend "Freakonomics" for an interesting look at the effects of Roe v Wade. What do you think about situations where the mother wants an abortion but the father doesn’t?
