Miehen oikeus päättää isyydestään

Portti naisten maahan kirjoittaa:

On totta, että raskaus ei ole reilu juttu. Koska sikiö kasvaa naisen sisällä, naisella on siihen suora päätäntävalta, jota ei miehellä ole.

Why shouldn?t a woman have the right to choose an abortion if she needs one?

The "right to choose" sounds desirable, but whether it is desirable or not depends on what the choice is about. Very few people these days would say a man should have the right to choose to beat up his wife. Most feminists would deny employers the right to choose their employees on the basis of gender. Most people would agree with a law denying women the right to choose to abuse their children. Our right to choose in so many areas is limited by the more fundamental rights of other people, and most people accept this.
But how does this apply to the case of abortion, where the woman is the only one affected, and no-one else?s fundamental rights are in question?

The fact is that the woman is not the only one affected. Abortion kills an unborn child. A society that allows abortion is denying the most fundamental human right - the right to life - to one group of human beings, the unborn.

Cathy Young:

If she does not want to be a mother, a woman can end the pregnancy, with or without her partner's knowledge. If she wants to carry her baby to term, a woman can force the father to pay child support. A woman also can have a baby and not tell the father, making a unilateral decision to give the child up for adoption or raise it on her own.

Can Men Freely Decide to Be a Father?:

Women are given a legal right to determine if they want to be mothers or not. Are men given that same privilege?

Is there really any difference in a woman terminating a pregnancy because she does not want to be a mother (ever or maybe only at this time) and a man walking away from supporting a child or a forced marriage because he doesn't want to be a father?

Does a man have a right to reject a child he did not knowingly conceive?

This is quite a question. It seems quite unfair that a woman could walk away from motherhood without giving men that same privilege.

In seeking equal fairness with women, some men feel they should have the right to choose or reject fatherhood.
