We really need to have two versions of this thread. One for pro choice, one for pro life. Having both people discussing the same issue without being up front about it is going to lead to some serious miscommunications.
If you do not believe there is anything morally wrong with abortion, JinnKai's plan is the best possible one, although it still doesn't address the circumstance for "Father wants, mother doesn't" in which case there should be some sort allowance of pregnancy support paid (3 months of the mothers wages paid to allow her to stay home during 3rd trimester + all medical expenses, etc).
If you do believe that it is morally wrong to have an abortion, then this isn't even an issue you can intelligently discuss, as there is no set of circumstances which the mother should be able to abort.
If we're viewing the issue as policy makers rather than as potential participants, there needs to be a solution that allows for both the Father and Mother's beliefs about life/conception/etc.
