That's a lovely thought, but who's going to pay for it?
My personal views on abortion aren't relevant here, so I'll go straight to what I think government policy ought to be. Women should have the right to choose whether or not to get an abortion. The opinion of the father should be given no legal weight. In countries with socialised health care (mine, for example), abortions should only be paid for by the state if a pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, or if continuing the pregnancy would be abnormally dangerous for the mother.
