But to play along with your scenario for a moment: What if both mother and father decided it was a bad time to become parents? Would you then allow both parents exercise the right to choice? Or is this hypothetical, and vague, "right" of fathers contingent upon them agreeing with your stance on abortions?

If you don't mind that your girlfriend killed your unborn child, I don't mind either..Smile

You're being a cunt now. Nowhere in there did I say anything about being okay with her decision.

At least now I know that you're not interested in honest discussion. This will be the last time I waste any keystrokes on you, dickweed.

Quote:Speaking of "rights", doesn't an unborn child have rights too?

No. One must be a citizen or legal immigrant to enjoy rights here in America. Surely you can understand that much, right? Right?
