Most certainly, in some cases yes. That is quite different from an outside entity, such as a government telling her to yield control. It is about free choice.

And does the unborn’s father have any rights?

I guess that would depend on the relationship with the mother. Hell we can't even get people to assume any rights so much as want them and take responsibility for their actions. In this country the answer is that the fathers have significantly less rights than the women when it comes to the pregnancy.

Furthermore, are you in favor of child support requirements?

Yes, for men and women equally. Equal responsibility, esp if one remarries.

If a man has no right to keep a woman from killing his child in utero, what right can the woman have to make the man pay child support if she chooses to let the child live?

Apples and oranges. They two subjects are hardly related.

Is this a thread for discussing partisan politics or engaging in partisan politics?

Unless rape or incest is involved, the woman has already yielded control over her body to someone else when she got pregnant. Why should she be entitled to reclaim what she had willfully given up just because a baby is involved?

Bull crap. Well except maybe in your world. My understanding it that sex is a 50/50 relationship and a shared control, not one person "yielding control" over another. That is one whacked out line of thinking. Are you married? Do you have another relationship with a person that you "control"?

Which means that a woman who has sex gives up (by your calculation) 50% control over her body. Do you pay any attention at all to what you write?

No where did you state 50%. You indicated only that she gave up her control and that is more of your BS. Well except maybe for your sex partners. You aren't one of those weird dudes with 6 wives, three of which are under the age of 16yrs, are you?
