I think I'll have to come back to this. I am really having a hard time following what you are conveying.

It could be because I'm speaking based on the shift in the conversation to a more general topic rather than the OP itself, so I'll clarify.

On the specific topic of abortion, a guy cannot have any authority over it. Because an abortion is based exclusively on the mother's bodily autonomy.

However, speaking on the topic of situations where the mother wants to be a parent while the father does not, I think we could come up with a system where "intent to be a parent" can be established and, on the basis of that, allow someone to either maintain their parental authority over the soon-to-be child or get rid of it. And, I think we can create a system that allows enough compromise to be considered fair to all parties.
