:
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?
Interesting question. I believe that as the bearer of the child, the woman should have the last say. The impacts on the mother, especially their mental/psychological well-being are far more detrimental than those on the father.

I find it funny that a couple can give up their child for adoption, and therefore lose all legal obligations, but a sole party cannot.
