defects, when the mothers life is in danger

maybe in those situations, but in general I think it only should be allowed if there's some VERY good reason to abort. Because, you know, the fetus is human and is alive, this is about as basic biology as it gets. Killing a fetus = killing a human.

father's rights

and this is just plain weird perspective. Shouldn't have anything to do with it.

You don't think the man should have any say over his child?

The consequences of him "having a say over his (unborn) child" would result in something similar to Islam imo. My perspective is simple actually: abortion only allowed for health reasons. 2 corpses is worse than 1. Maaaayyybbeee extreme defects would qualify too, but I think if people choose to fuck and a child is created they should take responsibility for it, not ask some doctor to kill it for them.

The popular idea I hear bandied about is that if a woman wants to have a child without a man she is fiscally responsible for its upbringing, and a woman cannot abort a wanted baby.

Most abortions are black though and their crime rate is awful. I think I should buy some stock in private prisons.

Yeah, I know that trivia 'bout US, but that's a US exclusive problem, I'm thinking about it in general.

Tho this bit about "black" abortions in US makes for a great test if someone's beliefs are truly consistent. Both shitlibs and non-shitlibs refuse to talk about the black numbers as its inconvenient for them. Only some more consistent racists are all like "hell yeah, that keeps the nigger population in check!".
