Do you think men should have the right to be notified before their girlfriend aborts their baby?

I have come across articles on the internet of women telling their story of why they had an abortion and also of why they didn't tell the father that they were even going to do it. They say that "It would affect their life more than his". Some go as far as saying "It’s a testament to how toxic anti-choice propaganda – especially that concerning “fathers’ rights – is that you even felt the need to question the correctness of your decision."

Do you think that a man should at least be given the common courtesy of being told before a woman aborts his baby?

    Obviously he should have an equal right to decide, or no obligation unless he consents.

    The sexist hypocrisy of the feminists is positively nauseating.

    No. Not at all. But I also think that since it's HER body, HER choice it should be HER responsibility. Period. If he FEELS like helping out, great. But he should be allowed to leave at any time with no legal repercussions.

    I do feel he should be notified AFTER so he can leave if he feels like it and doesn't have to listen to her pretend she's pregnant for 6 months. I'm not saying most women would but I'm sure it could happen and I've already been with a woman who did **** like that. She would say she was pregnant like every F'ing month and then give me some BS reason why she was no longer pregnant.

    No.

    Let's start with the fact that you can't even be 100% sure of WHO the father is until a paternity test is done. Paternity tests are rarely done before birth. Amino test have their risks, and if there were laws that she had to figure out who the dad was and inform it, it would prevent her from being able to get the abortion done in a timely manner.

    An abortion is a MEDICAL procedure. NO one, aside from her DR has any "right" to know what medical procedure she has had done, or planning to get done. Hippa laws protect her privacy.

    Yes. It's his baby too.

    But abortion shouldn't be legal anyway.
