Should the dad have a say in the choice of birth, adoption, or abortion/giving up rights?

Question

Yes body atonimy is a thing. If the father doesn't want the child, they can't force an abortion on the mother. No arguments.
***However, if the father truly doesn't want the child, should they be allowed to give up their parental rights before birth *without* the mother's permission?***
This would mean they get no custody, no visitation, and make no child support payments. They'd basically be a sperm donor at that point if the mother does continue to decide to keep the baby alone.

Answer

I think if the mother wants an abortion, she should at least ask the dad if he'll take it on and raise it without her. If he does want the kid, then I think it is morally wrong to abort the child if the dad will take full responsibility. He made that baby, too.

Answer

The father should be able to step in if the choice is to have the baby adopted. However, if the mother doesn't want to give birth she shouldn't have to, irrespective of the father's opinion. The man is not the one carrying and giving birth to a child. He should have a responsibility and right if the child goes on to be born to be involved in the child's life.

Answer

He can have a say but he can’t make any decisions. That’s the mothers choice.

Answer

they never needed the mother's permission to sign over their rights. I'm confused about what's being asked? that if we agree with that? because I do.

Answer

No he shouldn’t be allowed to give up his responsibilities, because that’s what they are, not just rights. He should of thought of the consequences before having sex.
If he could give up his rights, what would stop a man deliberately impregnating 100 women and leaving them all to take sole and full responsibility for his actions?

Answer

I think the dad should have a say in adoption and giving up rights but not in the abortion.

Answer

I think if it’s adoption he should get a say, especially if you aren’t together. Just because you can’t handle it or aren’t ready for it doesn’t mean that’s the case with him.

Answer

If the mother wants an abortion I think she should be able to get one even if the father doesn’t agree bc it is her body. 
They should both talk about adoption, like if the mom wants to put it up for adoption but the Dad wants to keep it, he should be able to keep it.  Same the other way around.

Answer

I would say most of the time mothers choice since she is carrying the baby it also kind of depends on the mothers relationship with the father but final decision is the mother
