Boyfriend has no right what to say as they are not married. Unless the boyfriend can convince her to carry it full-term and that he is willing to forgo child support on the woman's part.
I respectfully disagree.. Depends on the relationship between boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife, it doesn't matter if they are married or not, it's still between them. It was the boyfriend/husband who impregnanted the girlfriend/wife, and the girlfriend/wife do need boyfriend/husband's assistance for her about the decision for the baby because the boyfriend/husband and family was the only people that girlfriend/wife could really talk with about the baby. It's just that the boyfriend/husband would be always there for girlfriend/wife more than any of families and friends.
It would be weird if a girlfriend told her boyfriend that she was pregnanted, then abort her baby at the hostipal without letting boyfriend know. That's why I would rather to see boyfriend take the cooperative with the girlfriend, and the girlfriend take cooperative with boyfriend, ratherly than being "selfish" to each other, which was not really relationship.
Also fyi, the father always must pay the children support if he refuse to take care of the children after the dicrove or living separte. That applies to the mother too, if mother refuse to take care of the children, she has to pay for the children support too.
But face it, most men aren't maternal enough to take care of children.
Oh really? Well if I don't have a father, I would had dropped the high school by now, I would never know how to get a job, I would never know how to do the investment in the properties, I would never know how to do the business, I would never know how to drive and fix the car in the basic, I would never know how to protect myself and my home, I would never know how to be aggrestive, I would never know how to fix the house if there was any problem, there are many things that I learned from father himself.
Husband should have a say as they are married. Chances are if a woman is going to have an abortion, she already has her husband's support.
Exactly, decide together, as a relationship, family. "My body is my choice" is a selfish quote, IMO.
Now answer my question: what about the rapist? Does the rapist have a right to say if she should have an abortion or not?
Well read my story at Mann's thread at the health section... It shows how wonderful my father did for my anut.
