[Ibby]

Men should absolutely, positively, 100% have a say in whether or not a woman gets an abortion...

On a personal level. Legally, legislatively, authoritatively? He has absolutely no right to any say whatsoever.

Right on.

In most cases, when a child is born the father has financial responsibility for that child, so he should have a say.

Wow. I didn't realize men only had a financial responsibility to children, and that that's the motivating factor for this legislation.

1. And what about when the status of the consentuality of the sex is unclear or alleged?
2. I guess if he's dead, then it doesn't matter. Sounds like a precursor to a Fark story: Not news: Woman kills father of child for insurance proceeds. Fark: Woman kills father of child so she can have abortion.
3. Or how about even "high risk" pregnancies (although all pregnancies carry a huge risk to the mother) where it's more of a guess as to whether or not there could be severe complications?
