What if it was the other way around, and the father wanted her to get an abortion? Should he have any say?

Why is he just willing to pay?? If this is his girlfriend did he consider offering marriage and a stable family for the baby??
To: metalmanx2j
If a man is concerned about the possibility of his child being aborted, he shouldn’t impregnate any woman he doesn’t know well enough to be confident how she would handle it. He has no say at all, legally.

The state considers the child to be a non-person and the father to not be a father.

He has no rights in this matter.
But of course, these things should be dicussed during foreplay, if not before.

Doesnt the father have any rights in this? Nope. And it's a damned travesty.

He might want to sue her in civil court for breach of contract.

Yes, but it won't happen.

What if it was the other way around, and the father wanted her to get an abortion? Should he have any say? If a unborn child is legally an object, a non-person, then he should absolutely have a say.

Perhaps, potential "fathers" might consider first courting their brides-to-be, then getting engaged, later married and lastly, planning their family out of desire to be a parent, not merely a sperm donor.
Unfortunately, in today's world, even that would not give the "father rights" as the NOW, NARAL, PRO-ABORTION crowd, do not believe that fathers have any rights at all only the mother-to-be, or should I say "fetus-expectant woman."

He should have a say, but he doesn’t. About 10 years ago, in the Chicago area, a man shot his pregnant girlfriend, killing the baby, and he was accused of murder. If she got an abortion, killing the baby, she wouldn’t have been accused of murder, except from conservative, pro-life people. The baby’s father killed the baby the only way that he could, and he was charged with a crime.

Unless the girlfriend agreed in advance that the father would have rights should she get pregnant, there is no contract to be breached.
