Search Results: having an abortion

MY OPINION:

I would say she has (or should have) most of the say in the abortion process, because she's more affected by the baby's existence. Her body is affected dramatically, her hormones, and then when she gives birth she has to take care of the baby and feed it from her own body. A lot of women die in childbirth as well, and if she's not in a good physical condition, she has even more reasons to abort because of the risk of death or health problems.

But, then the father is also affected by the baby's existence because he has to work harder and longer and has to provide for his family while the mom takes care of the kid.
But what if the man does not want the child? Let's say he does not want to take care of a child because they agreed on not having kids beforehand, and she suddenly fell pregnant because the birth control didn’t work. What happens then? What if she says she does want to have the child, and the man doesn't?

OR, what if she wants to abort the child and the man wants to keep it?

Who has the final say in any situation? I think there should be like a legal contract or agreement where each partner has to cite their reasons as to why they want to abort or keep the child, and then let someone (a professional) judge whether or not this should happen or not. For example, if a woman has medical reasons to abort the child and the man insists and wants the child, then maybe the woman would have the final say in this scenario. But if she wants to abort because she just doesn’t feel like having another kid, yet it's shown that the family is financially and emotionally able to take care of a baby, and he wants to keep it, then the man can have the final say here.

That's just my opinion. In an ideal world that's what would happen I think.

Thor is 40 years old. He has a 5 month old son named Milo and a 11 year old stepson named Jasper. Thor doesn't like his baby son because he's deaf. He told Kara countless times to get an abortion because he was angry and ashamed to have a disabled child. Thor would buy things for Milo but would rarely hold him, cuddle him, or give him any love.

Thor would also refuse to care for Milo at night. So Whenever Milo needed his diaper changed or wanted to be held at night, Thor made 11 year old Jasper get up at 3 in the morning and do it. Jasper felt terrible hearing Thor say that he was ashamed of having Milo for a son because he was deaf, so Jasper would cuddle Milo/ hold Milo when their mother couldn't and made sure he felt loved.
