I'm not a father, I'm 18 years old! That's too young to be a father. Anyway, I am always hearing about how girl's can have an abortion because it's their body and their right, I'm not going to attack anyone who is pro-choice, but shouldn't the father of the baby have a say too? No seriously if I got a girl pregnant and I found out she was going to abort the baby, I'd tell her to have the baby and then I would take care of it. But why has everyone forgot the guys who would try to accept responsibility for the baby? It's always about the girl and her rights. Just a Thought.

I say the guys opinion doesn't matter, because for the most part they don't really help. I mean they help for the first few months or even years. But children are forever so mothers need more than help. Not to mention anyone who refers to a baby as "it" I wouldn't believe.

SolG shows off by spelling that way

anywho, a guy have a say of what i do with my body? ha. unless he seriously seems to be a candidate for a good father, i wouldnt let hm have a say on whether i should keep the kid or not.

SolG, We can't understand a damn thing you're saying.

its alway tha guys fault if a girl get pregnant if she dressed like a $lut nope guys fault drugged his soda nope guys faultsaid she wuz on tha pill nope guys fault guys has to pay child supportif i get a girl pregnant and its HER fault puuu i disappear miami's callin my name!!

All in all. everything just depends on the situation.

Well, I think that if I were pregnant and considering an abortion I would talk to the baby's father about it.Sometimes the father isn't around anymoreby the time a woman finds out she is pregnant, so then it would be kind of hard to have him involved in the decision. I don't think a man should be able to stop a woman from having an abortion, or force a woman to have an abortion.I understand it must be very hard for a man to feel like he has no say about becoming a father.

I think the guy should be able to have is say if he is going to be there for the girl. But ultimatley its the girl's choice because its her body.

To DrakaiPrince,
I think that the reason why most of everyone has forgotten about the guys that want to take responsibility is because in the majority of the time the guy doesn't want to take the responsibility. He just thinks that the baby isn't his so he's not going to take care of it. You sound like a man for 18 years old. God for you bro. And this is coming from a girl.

The father is legally responsible for taking care of the baby untill he's eighteen, so I think that gives him right enough to spare the child's life despite the mother.

I think the father has a right to voice his opinion but the decision is ultimately up to the mother. If she doesn't want the baby and the father does then she has a personal right to choose between carrying the baby and letting the father keep it or having an abortion. It's her body so it's more her choice than the father's. But I do believe he should have some sort of say in it. Some guys wouldn't make good fathers, though, even if they think they would.

Yes a father does have a choice... If it weren't for him there wouldn't be a baby.. But some girls think they are the only one who matters but think again.. I don't believe abortion so o well...

I’m not buying all the people who say" my view on abortion is not warping my view on this topic." The reason why is because obviously your going to say yes when their is an opportunity for another person to nullify the women’s choice to terminate the fetus. But I can come up with a situation that shows that your view on abortion is warping your decision, let’s say the women wanted to keep the baby but the man wanted the women to have an abortion. Under some of your opinions the women would have abortion, because the man has a choice; but I'm sure most of you here would have the opposite opinion of what you said on the original. This is the perfect example of question that is aimed to support one's point of view.
Most of you know I'm Pro-abortion so I'll leave it at that.

hey DrakaiPrince?

i've got a question for you...are you pro-abortion or not?

Very good points.... a related point i'd like to make is this: It's not all about the mother, in fact, it's not all about either fo the parents. When Somebody is pregnant, they not only are responsible for themselves, but for the baby! I am against abortion.

you're very right. you made some excellent points. i'm still totally for abortion, but i do think the father in the situation should have a say. due to the fact that the woman is carrying the baby, she should have the final say, i guess, but yea, you're right.

i just don't think that the right to have an abortion should be taken away because that eliminates the chance for the mother or the father to have a choice.

I know. I'm totally against abortion, but even if I agreed with it, I think that the father should have a say. I mean, he helped conceive it!!!

who said i was encouraging abortions?..i was stating my opinion...dont put words in my mouth

Yeah but when it all comes down to it, it is still her decision. Because you can't make her not get an abortion my taking the baby away from her or something, the only thing you can do is try to change her mind. What if she not comfortable haveing the child of the man who raped her? And even if it does change your life it changes her even more. If she wants an abortion she will get one and there is nothing you can do to stop her but try and persuade her not to get one. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink meaning, all in the all the final decision is hers, as well as it should be.

Okay take this now. My girlfriend was raped by her ex-boyfriend at first we thought she was pregnant cause she had all the signs, I'm in the Military and I'm in Texas right now, she's back home in Idaho. I told her not to tell her ex boyfriend and that I would say the baby was mine, and that I wuld take care of her and the child. That meant I would have to put all of my plans for the future on hold to raise a baby that wasn't even mine so I say yeah the father should have a choice.
