I'm glad to see this wasn't a thread created this year, because some of the responses are shocking.

In this enormously hypothetical and unlikely situation, I believe no one should *force* the woman to do anything, because that rather dramatically impedes on a woman's fundamental human rights, does it not?

In this event, I would think that the mother would simply retain 100% custody of the child if it were born. What other rational course of action is there? The misguided OP and his early respondents seem to be stuck in the adolescent game of perpetually asking the question, "What would we do in this totally unlikely situation?"

They also, apparently, haven't developed the wisdom to critically analyze the situation and instead declared it 'logical' that the man should be able to force the woman to abort OR adopt.
