I think the father should have the right to say "I want you to have this baby, i'll pay for the pregnancy (bills and lost wages) but after word I have full custody of the baby and the mother must sign away all her rights to the baby.
There is a tendency in this culture to blame pregnancy on the man but the truth is it takes 2 people to get pregnant. Comments like 'the man should keep it in his pants' are just offensive as 'the woman should keep her legs closed' and do nothing but create rifts in the conversation. They both chose to have sex (i'm not talking about rape here) and now they both have to deal with it.
Ok here is a little fuel for the fire, why do many clinics require the man to get his spouses permission in order to get a vasectomy?
I asked a lady friend of mine who is very adamant about "My body my rights" and she said good they should have to get permission. That seems like a major double standard there.
