OK I remember when I was about 4 months pregnant with my son in 2002 there was case in CA (I think??) where the girlfriend wanted to have an abortion and the boyfriend (and his mother maybe?) took the girl to court to prevent her from having an abortion. They ended up losing and the girl had an abortion anyway. Needless to say, they aren't together anymore. Like sugar and spice - I think a woman should take the emotional feelings of the father into play, but a man should have NO legal say whatsoever, that would be like a woman decided randomly for a guy to have a vasectomy without asking him (not the same I know but as close as I could get).
I wish this was a perfect world where all women faced with unplanned pregnanices have happy endings like I did. I not only feel blessed to have one of my own and one on the way, but that I'm able to financially and emotionally support them. This isn't a perfect world though and most (not all) single women that do keep their babies without the father's help end up on gov't assistance and never finish their education. These would those people you bitch about to get a job so we can stop supporting their asses. Another issue entirely but still something to think about.
