I don't have a problem with abortion besides these two things...
1. It being used as birth control. If a woman has three abortions (not rape, incest etc), just freakin' sterilize her.
2. I don't think the MAN has enough say in it. I agree it's a woman's body, but if SHE chooses to have the baby, when the father doesn't want to, it should be HER that raises the baby on her own.
Spare me the "It's his responsibility" comments. It IS his responsibility, but it's ALSO hers. She's the one deciding, sometimes without regard to what the man wants or is capable of taking care of, both emotionally AND financially.
Perhaps some sort of arbitration (I can't believe I'm suggesting ANY legal process here) is best. The man gets a voice, and the woman gets a voice. If the arbitrator decides the man SHOULD be responsible because he's capable, so be it. Then the woman gets the ultimate final choice.
If the arbitrator decided the man ISN'T responsible because he ISN'T capable of support, the women can STILL have the final say on whether or not to keep the baby, but without any financial recourse on the man.
