It seems to me that the man's inability to get pregnant sort of places him at a disadvantage when it comes to decisions about abortion and pregnancy in general. I don't think it is fair for women to always automatically take the position of "hey, its in my body, so screw you. I'm gonna do what I want when I want and how I want". The guy cannot help the fact that he can't get pregnant. He is. however, equally responsible for the pregnancy and the fact that he cannot get pregnant does not mean that he loves or cares about the pregnancy or the prospect of HIS child coming into the world any less than the woman. His inability to get pregnant often restrains a man from being active in decisions that are just as important to him as they are to the woman and THAT isn't fair to me.
I don't know that I would support mandatory consent from the man prior to having an abortion, but I also don't support a "forget about you, its my body and, therefore, all about me" attitude either.
