Will, this can't be just a discussion of father's rights. Implicitly in what you're proposing is some sort of limitation of the right for human beings to have sovereignty over what goes on with their bodies.
Father's rights don't exist for unborn children, and i would argue that they probably shouldn't for the simple fact that any sort of laws protecting them would be necessarily over reaching and also necessarily unenforceable. Women have been known to risk death to have an abortion, what makes you think that some vague notion of responsibility to the father would mean all that much?
