Something that I have noticed here is that no one has mentioned what the father's rights are concerning abortion. Well, I was curious, so I looked for some information on this. Turns out, the father has NO rights. No one seems to ever mention this, or even take it into consideration, so I felt it necessary to say this to complete the definition of abortion here - abortion in the United States is the choice of the mother, with no legal precedence invovled in the choice of the father, however both parents are equally responsible for the well-being of the child after birth. I will not give my point of view on this subject, as this is not the forum in which to do so.
