Of course not I have stated that more than once, but if they are not honorable they would simply ignore the pregnancy and she would get an abortion. He would not want a child... people are tail-posting their asses off in here.

By allowing the father to have his child if he wishes. Simple.

As for those of you talking about "viability" does that mean every time science allows us to keep a child alive earlier and earlier outside the mother the definition of fetus moves? Idiotic argument.

Unless they didn't. You have no reason to make that assumption.

Yes you have. I've been trying to get an answer for a while, and you have posted in the meantime.

No, not simple. Here are some complications:

How would the father know about the pregnancy? Would he have to be notified by law? How would his identity be determined? A mandatory DNA test before abortion?

How, if he wanted the child, would the woman be stopped from having an abortion? Would the woman need to bring a permission slip to the doctor? Would the doctor have to check a national registry of woman who are prohibited abortions for nine months?

What deterrant would there be? Prison? A fine?

In short, how would your law work? You're saying that the father ought to have a say in the decision. Most would agree, as a matter of personal interaction. But how could that preference be encoded into law?

This is not really an unexpected outcome. Science and progress often lead to legal redefinition, and this would be particularly true for the beginning and end of life: points in time where the stakes are very high, and the science so likely to change things.

Nope, that's wrong, do you want to try another answer? Maybe you didn't read posts 241, 213, 173, 170 etc...?
Do you have enough honor to admit that you're wrong, or is that beneath you?
