Re: Abortion/Adoption/Birth Rights
I believe that the choice to give birth to the child belongs to the mother, but I also believe that if the father does not want to be a part of the child's life that he should be able to forfeit any financial responsibility he would have for the child. Likewise, the woman could agree to give birth to the child and then detach any further responsibilities and leave the child with the father if they both agreed to the decision within a reasonable amount of time (e.g. before abortion becomes murder). This way at least the father has a choice. Women will do some really sneaky things to get pregnant, and I find it completely unfair for a man to have to deal with their treachery for the rest of his life.
