Absolutely. That baby is half the father's too. The mother will ultimately probably have the final say. Abortion could affect her uterus enough that she is unable to have children in the future due to scar tissue buildup. |

I agree it is ultimately the woman's decision, but I personally think a unilateral decision on her part is unfair. This is assuming that the couple in question have more than just a casual acquaintance. Any "one night stand" or "hook-up" that results in pregnancy doesn't give this guy much standing in my book. |

I noticed how everyone neglects to mention the child's right to life let alone the rights of the father.
IT IS A LIVING CHILD.
The father would have say if the mother were intent on moving the child out of the country how much more when she is contemplating KILLING HER OWN CHILD?
I suspect people will become more concerned with the rights of the helpless when they are old and feeble, laying on a hospital bed and some doctor wants to murder them because they are "inconvenient". |

he should discuss his feelings with the mother but in the end it's her own decision. she has to carry the child, she has to give birth to the child. the man can take the place of a woman who isn't ready to go through pregnancy. |

yes, the father should definitly have a say. It is in the woman's body but it is made of both them. He should have a say, no doubt. |

You should be able to state your opinion freely, but when it boils down to it, it is all up to the female what she wants to do. If you force her to get an aborption, you are not the one who is going to feel hollow inside, and constantly wondering what could've been. If you force her to have the baby, your body is not the one that will be changing and your moods won't be going up and down for no real reason.
Although this is true. Your lady should really consider your opinion on the issue. You both laid down to make the baby, you should have -near- equal say in the baby's future. |

Should he be able to order an abortion against the moms will? No.
Should he be able to petition to keep the child? I think so.
This is a slippery one. If, it's the mom's 'choice' to do what she wants, then if she has the child against the fathers wishes should that mean her 'choice' is to raise it alone?
As men, we put our future in the hands of someone else when we 'chose' to have sex with them outside marriage. Whether it's having a part of us killed against our will or being responsible for another life we did not plan for, life will change. Some fleeting gratification isn't worth it. |

maybe not the final word. it's the woman's body and health. but the woman should at least welcome the father's feelings and opinions. |

yes, of course. If you want her to have the baby you should make it clear that you are willing to be the best dad you can. If you are not ready to parent a child and prefer she abort the child, you can express your feelings, but ultimatly it is her decision. You should also consider the emotional damage an abortion can cause. It would be something the both of you will have to live with for the rest of your lives. |

yes, but the girl may be a little sensitive about how u say it so be very careful about ur choice of words. Im going through the same thing right now and if my boyfriend said the wrong thing the wrong way id become defensive and argumenative. |
