I'll say it again: If you're not a woman, you should have no say in this debate.
Now, on an individual basis, I think most of the time the father's opinion should be considered, but that's as far as it goes.
My body, my choice. Fuck off if you think you have any right to tell me otherwise.
Well, this gets a bit sticky when for example, a woman is not on birth control, doesn't tell the dude she's sleeping with that little piece of info, gets pregnant, and expects the guy to pay child support until the kid is 18.
In such cases, then the women wants the guy to be responsible. Well, if you leave the man out of your decision to abort a baby, then you need to leave him out of your decision to have a baby, if you didn't take precautions against having a baby to begin with.
As women, we can't expect to have our cake and eat it too.
