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?

He should have the right to an abortion. If he gives up his rights to have a say like people here seem to think then why can't the woman give up the rights to her body by choosing to have sex with him? This is another reason average abortions just shouldn't exist in legal form, it creates complexities we shouldn't have to deal with. You have sex, you accept the child and both lose your rights by choosing sex. Same as felons choose to lose voting by committing their crimes.

That’s where I got stuck. Not in rape or incest - but consensual sex. They both knew the possibilities and one gets a choice and one doesn’t.

It is true it’s the woman’s body, but she does have a choice.

It’s also true many men would opt for abortion rather than child support.

I don’t know. I just thought it was worth discussing. @Jackaloftheazuresand

@Mamapolo2016 I asked a similar question once but mine focused on the stealing of the male's sperm and people there said he still shouldn't have the right to request an abortion. I find that odd because he either becomes a deadbeat father that never knows his child and might leave his own kid with feelings of inadequacy from knowing their father isn't around or he has to support a child he didn't want. He doesn't win at all in that situation and it's wrong.
