If you are from a country where the man who fathers the baby is required to pay child support...

And since currently abortion is in most states available on demand, should the father of the child have the right to demand an abortion or have his legal responsibilities removed?

No. Not his body.

@DeezNutz He has half investment in what is in that body though.

@Quizzical Yeah so if the child is born he should fulfill his legal responsibilities. Many don’t anyway.

@DeezNutz Yet a man has no rights, only responsibilities.

That's hardly fair.

@Quizzical he has visitation rights or can get custody.
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@DeezNutz I'll give you the visitation rights, but custody?

A snowball has more chance in hell than a guy has of getting custody.

@Quizzicalhow many men do you think want full custody bs women in that situation?
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@DeezNutz A lot of men try for full custody. Most are dissuaded as they are told that they have very little hope of getting it. Of the ones that go through with it, a very small percentage win.

The figures are really rather interesting.

Courts have a HUGE bias towards mothers in custody cases, even when her character is dubious.

@Quizzical I understand. But telling women what to do with their bodies? That’s the crux of it for me. Wouldn’t do it.

@Quizzical "Yet a man has no rights, only responsibilities.

That's hardly fair."

Unlike women in most places, men can just go get sterilized. Which means they have more reproductive rights than women and can easily prevent themselves from getting anyone pregnant. But sure, men only have responsibilities and no rights.
