I'm kind of torn on this issue, not that I have any personal experience with it. Everyone knows that I believe that a woman should have the right to choose whether to have an abortion or not. In an ideal world, she and the man responsible will discuss this together and come up with a solution that is satisfactory to both of them, whether it be abortion, keep the baby and stay together, keep the baby and one of them takes it or adoption. The final decision, however, as to whether to have the baby or not should be up to the woman. I feel very strongly that a man should not be able to prevent a woman from having an abortion because he wants the baby.
I wonder though -- if a woman chooses to give birth and keep the baby knowing that the man didn't want it, is it really fair to demand that he give $$$ to the baby when it wasn't his decision to keep it? Of course I would hope that a man would take responsibility and be a father and all that, but doesn't it seem unfair, if a woman has a right to choose, to say that a man doesn't and has to live with whatever the woman decides? What if the woman was desperate to get pregnant and lied about being on the pill and poked holes in condoms? I don't know if stuff like that ever happens, but it wouldn't shock me.
