If the father wants abortion, but the mother says no, should he be absolved of any responsibility?

Let me ask you this. If the mother wants an abortion and the father says no, should she be allowed to have one?

Or:

If the father decides he no longer wants the three year old, should he be absolved of all responsibility?

The time to choose whether you want to be a parent is before you climb into bed. If you don't want babies, put a love glove on it, or keep it in your pants.

Well, he can ask for the rights to be absloved in Family Court, when he is being ordered to pay child support...
DON"T WANT A KID....KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS!!!!

Murder is not the answer to your mistake!

Leah

Absolutely not. Take some responsibility for your actions...it takes 2 to tango, there's no reason she should have to raise the kid on her own just because she's too good a person to abort.

glass.

no, he should have taken more precautions beforehand.

Why would he want to kill an innocent child?
He should be a man and take responsibility. It takes two to tango.

Yes. If we are fighting for equal rights, then it needs to be equal across the board.

The father can just sign off the rights

TNL

yep...just cause he wants the easy way out doesn't mean he should get it!

Stormchaser

No way, he should pay child support for what he knew his funtime would result in. However, I do think that he should not have to give his name to a child, if he is not married to the mother! Call me old school.

It's you conscious, your the one that will live and deal with it for the rest of your life. Now imagine if your father had the same thoughts about you!

You could say no, but then if he dosent want her to have an abortion she should be able to sign away rights, and she would not have to pay child supoprt.

You could say yes, but then lazy men would be spreading their seed around like crazy.

Abortion is not meant to be birth control...although it is used that way and there is a double standard, a man cant get rights to save his child if he dosent want it aborted.

I thikn he should at least have to have some financial resposiblity though, its really not that much work to shell out a few bucks while someone is making huge sacrifices because of an accident that you were 50% responsible for.

I actually don't believe so. Excuse my french but it was his d1ck that caused the pregnancy, so just because he doesn't want the responsibility, it's not ok for him to suggest the murder of a baby.
I believe the father should be held responsible no matter what. It is not fair for the father to just be able to sign all responsibility away and go find another woman to get pregnant while the mother is stuck with the tough choices: 1) murder her baby or get stuck with the responsibility of raising a child all alone. There is also the choice of offering the child for adoption, which is not an easy choice for the mother... While it might not make her feel as bad as abortion, it isn't exactly an easy thing for a woman to give up her flesh and blood.
People are so irresponsible these days.

Its the girls body and choice. If he wants an abortion, he shouldn't have to pay for the child and he should leave. If they are married, they really need to sit down and talk for a LONG time.

That's what it's all about I suppose, responsibility, or to be more precise, the avoidance of it. That is a common contributor in matters of abortion, unfortunately, the prospect of impending respnsibility is not generally considered in moments of conception.

A father should want to provide for his child, even if he's reluctant to want the responsibility, he is still going to be expected to assume it when the time comes. I'm of a mind to think certain ways about those who would rather prohibit a life from continuing than provide for it once it's begun, scarcely do I feel as though abortion is justifiable, I hardly believe selfish inconsideration is a suitable example. He should be made to absorb his share of the costs involved. Though I'm inclined to believe the child would be better off without that particular father figure, parenthood takes on a whole new meaning when what's been expected has arrived, and any man that can look at his offspring and not feel love, is no man by my definition.

.........NO........You play, You Pay.

DizziDazi

No. I don't think that would be fair, What if that father decided latter in life he wanted a relationship with that child. How would explain absolving his rights. I also don't think a woman should be able to have an abortion if the father is not in agreement. It takes two. Both should have to reach some kind of mutual ground or compromise.

lostangel225

Yes, it he want's to give up his rights all together

james B

yes

sexymama

I think both parties should have a choice in whether to have the child or not, I'm tired Of woman making decisions that affect two people plus a child and don't take his opinion Into consideration. He's not sticking you with a child your deciding to have one if you know You need his financial support make sure he agrees! It's sad to see a kid not Have a relationship and support from the father.
