    I personally think no; that's probably going to score me many negative points, but that is my opinion. When the decision to have or not to have a child lies exclusively in the hands of one party, and the other goes on record as being against it, they should not have to bear the burden.

    • But he chose to do the actions that could come up with that result. he shouldn't take responsibility for his actions??

    • Honestly? The girl did. No man has ever had sex (rape notwithstanding) without being allowed to.

    • Freedom of choice. They both had a say. He could have told her no just as well as she could have told him no.

    • I value your opinion. If the guy seriously cant afford to support the baby then he should give up his rights. If he cant support a child he should be using protection.

    • I think it is fairly easy for some people to look at abortion as just a minor procedure without really taking into account the psychological trauma it can cause. It is a medical procedure that causes labour in some cases. Delivering a dead foetus is not something to be undertaken lightly. This is a result sometimes of the tablets and pessaries given to procure the death and expulsion of the foetus.
      I do not speak from a religious stand point but from personal experience of friends who had early terminations recently.
      Not all women can accept the process of termination without psychological trauma.
