As stated previously, I don't think he can make the final determination, but I think if the father wants to talk to mother and try to work something out, then that should happen. I think whatever the woman decides should be shared with the man, for better or worse unless he's a rapist or expresses no interest.
Yes I was trying to say this, but I'm not that articulate

But what father has more rights, the one 'night stand' father, the 'casual affair' father, the 'in a committed relationship' father? Every situation is different.
At my age if my husband knocked me up I would go running to the abortion clinic. No matter what his position is. I can't imagine being 64 years old sitting at my child's high school graduation ceremony. Ain't gonna happen, but if I never had children then I might have a different point of view. Who knows. Thank god I'll never find out
