Interesting debate over there .....

The man would be able to have the woman forcably restrained/drugged/whatever, and put through an abortion she may not want, just by saying he doesn't want the kid. I think this is a massive violation of the woman's autonomy, and isn't worth the trade off.

A dickhead man could hold power by threatening to "give the call" if the woman doesn't do whatever he wants, basically blackmailing her over the life of the baby she still wants. How would it work? Would the police come round and take her? Would she get a court order telling her to go to the hospital, or else?

I know that technically the woman can do the same thing right now, but the woman actually has to go through with the whole abortion to carry out the "threat" whereas the man can just pick up a phone.

That's my concern over the power. But either way, I couldn't get on board with retraining people and making them have an abortion, unless it was absolutely necessary.
