I changed the name because I thought it was a horrible name for a serious thread.

Alcar: How do you feel about cases where the man wants the woman to abort and she disagrees? Given that he has legal obligations as biological father that he may not wish - or be able - to perform, does he not have any rights?



Also, as an interesting Religion 101, Catholicism always puts the right of the child over and above the right of the mother. Thus, the only time they ever allow abortion is if it's strongly likely that both the mother and the child are going to die from complications in the pregnancy. If the mother might die in childbirth, but still produce a living child, abortion is not allowed.

Judaism still bans abortions but if the mother's life is at risk, they are allowed. I suspect that there are some rabbis who would allow it for psychological reasons as well, but I haven't looked in to that in depth.
