I think it's important for both people to vote on this issue. From a man's perspective, it can help prevent a woman from unilaterally deciding to abort a child without consulting the partner which can be a pretty serious thing. Conversely, if the man doesn't want the child but the woman continues to have the baby anyway, it usually puts the man in a legal bind where he is obligated to provide and pay for the child up to a certain age.

Just a lot of considerations that go around, those are just the first two that pop into mind and I'm sure there are plenty of others

Ultimately, it should be 100% her decision and we can do little more than tell her that it would be nice to consult with him first.

I completely support a woman's right to choose, but as long as her choice results in his financial obligation, there are always going to be people debating the issue.

I would argue that this is OK if they're not in a legally recognized union of some kind (marriage or civil union or partnership through cohabitation). But if you're married I think each partner has equal equity in the matter.

Until the man is actually sharing the pregnancy, that's just unfortunate. Blame biology. Bodily autonomy trumps all.

I would call a women a bit of a jerk if she ignored what her partner wanted, but that's her choice.

That's just making excuses. Bodily autonomy taking precedence does not automatically justify 18 years of child support payments. Trying to force it into some sort of one or the other decision is lazy at best, malicious at worst. Put another way, if the woman has 100% bodily autonomy, and the father isn't planning on sticking around, then the financial burden of that child is part of her decision on whether to keep it or not.

The child's well being > a man who doesn't want to be part of its life.

At the point in which a woman is considering having an abortion, it isn't a child. It is a fetus. There is no child's well-being to consider.

If a woman has a baby and the guy flakes after the child is born, that's a different story entirely.

Abortion is literally a one or the other issue. Compromises on it introduce all kinds of moral hypocrisy. If you don't always have bodily autonomy, then you never have it. It's called autonomy

Money and child support are irrelevant and separate issues.

All that I've been given
Is this pain that I've been living
They got me in the system
Why they gotta do me like that?
Tried to make it my way
But got sent up on the highway
Why? oh why
Why they gotta do me like that?

That's literally the same point I am making. I am arguing in support of complete bodily autonomy, but pointing out that giving somebody bodily autonomy does not also require giving them financial support.

That's impossible though. You either abort or you don't; if one person wants to keep it, and the other doesn't, there is no compromise. Someone has to be the one to make the decision

Takes two to get pregnant, if the man doesn't want it and she does she can hook him in for years of payments. He should have a say in it.

What is this vote you're referring to?

Abortion is obviously an issue that matters to men. It's the life of our child.

You do realize that if he wants it and she doesn't.... it will still get aborted, right?

I really wasn't trying to bait anyone. I'm honestly just trying to figure out why us men care about making a woman keep a baby.

It's an unfortunate circumstance, for sure. Still, it would be wrong to force a woman to carry a child that she does not want to.

So for the people in this topic, the bodily autonomy argument gets very interesting when you look at surrogate motherhood. I was looking it up out of curiosity given what people were saying here, and there are a number of cases of a couple paying a surrogate mother to carry their child, only it turns out to be twins or triplets. In these cases, the surrogate refused to abort any of them even though their contract specifically has an abortion clause for these situations. In this instance, the woman's bodily autonomy fully gives her the right to carry these children through even though the actual genetic parents both agree that they don't want all those children.

She shouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place then. She made her choice when she conceived a child. After that, it's murder.
