No. I am not making any statement regarding funding the MD or health care.

I am saying that the consent of the Father is not necessary if a Mother decides to murder the child. However, if the Mother decides to give birth to the child, the Father is held accountable for the costs.

I advocate all parents taking responsibility for their actions, including the Father being involved monetarily and actively. I also advocate the Father's opinion being part of the decision. The life being murdered is half of his DNA.

I also advocate the Father's opinion being part of the decision.

This would be nice; but nearly impossible to actually do. The woman could grab any male, and have him claim to be the father. Then, working in collusion, could affect an abortion without the true father being aware.

As things stand, biologically; the male has very little input into the decision process. The woman may tell the man she's using birth control - and lie. And the man is forced into the father's role willing, or unwilling. This is not an unusual occurance.
