That is a difficult situation as well....
Men don't have any rights in that particular situation.
One of my female aquaintences was married with 3 small children.....and they were surprised with a new pregnancy.
The husband was happy and ready to add to the family and the wife was adament that she did not want to continue with the pregnancy. She was a stay at home mom and she felt she couldn't handle the added stress and financial burden....nor did she want to be pregnant for 9 months and cause further destruction to her body.
She ended up aborting the pregnancy without her husbands knowledge or consent.
Needless to say..... this destroyed their marriage and they are now divorced. It was a nasty, nasty divorce.
The point to my story is that, even though the man wanted the child, it is the woman who has to carry the baby, and give birth to it.... and unless you have been pregnant, you'll NEVER understand what that does to your body...or how sick you can be...the pain is excrutiating and the damage is permanent.
Neither the biological fathers nor the government should have the right to force a woman to bear a child.
The same works for abortion. It is a surgical procedure, with many possible side effects....
Some believe abortion is murder.
Again, no one, not biological Father or the Government should ever be able to force a woman to murder her unborn child..... especially if the reason is because the man doesn't want to financially support said child.
Money isn't everything....right??
