But why doesn't the father have any right to say what happens to his child? What if the mother decides she doesn't like the father and decides to abort the baby to hurt him what then? Is that justified because the mother carries the child?
Firstly I do not view a foetus as a child. Secondly I doubt very much that a woman that wants to give birth to a baby will abort just to spite the father, yes it is possible but in my opinion someone that can think this coldy should never be a mother in the first place

I don't mean to be mean but isn't it immature to complain about getting pregnant when you willingly sleep with someone knowing full well that you could get pregnant?
See I think we have a very different perspective here. The only reservations that I have regarding abortion is how far into the pregnancy it is and the effect upon the woman involved

Doesn't the idea of the mother being solely in charge of the fate unborn child actually stem from some women wanting more power in the world? If so wouldn't that mean that by denying the father any say over what happens to their child the mother would feel more powerful and in control?
Again maybe there are a minute % of women who may see life this way but I suspect that is all. Most women would most likely take the mans views into account but when there is no agreement the ultimate decision must rest with the woman, it is her body and no-one has the right to force her to endure an unwanted pregnancy
See again you are also using the emotive term 'unborn child' and 'child' when at this stage of development it is far from this.
