You could argue that yes, but the point that they should be able to demand one if they unable to afford it still stands. The father could be crippled financially until the child turns 18, while the woman can just have smooth sailing in life with his child support money and benefits from the government depending on what country you're in. Men should be able to order an abortion when it is impossible for them to live comfortably otherwise.
What are your views on abortion?

Indeed, it could be demanded. However, it would most likely be taken through a judicial court system where the father would have to prove he would be unable to sustain the child and live well himself. Not to mention, if there were any hint of promiscuity on the mother's part, would it be fair to allow someone who may potentially not be the father decide? Since paternity tests cannot be performed until the child is born, the point would be moot there. Though in that case, I would question whether the father should have to pay, since they would have been deceived already.
My opinion?
If a woman doesn't want to give birth, she shouldn't be forced to. And besides, if women were to loose the right to abort, and they chose that they didn't really want to have a child. For whatever reason, they would find other, more harmful ways to end a pregnancy. I think abortion is there to protect women who choose not to give birth.

children should not be a form of punishment for having sex
the 'if you're ready to have sex, you're ready to have a child' idea is so bunk i can't even start
think about the child's life for just a split second.
if the parent who didn't want/plan to have them has the kid, doesn't know what they're doing, doesn't have anything prepared, has little to no funds- how is that going to be a good life for ANY child? the child did nothing either than be born to be put in a position where its quality of life could be downright shoddy and full of neglect.
adoption is a good plan, but it's never guaranteed the child will actually get adopted. that and the emotional and physical stress it can put on a mother- a good chunk of the time biology decides that no, this is her baby and therefore should be kept; sticking us back at square one: will keeping it be healthy for the child?
i don't like the idea of abortion. i genuinely do believe it's snuffing out the possibility of a life. but i think it's very, very necessary. i would rather give that would-be child a soft, easy release than have them live through a hellish life where it would be unhealthy, neglected, and unwanted.
i have met too many people who came from a household where they were a 'mistake baby' and they hated it. they hated their parents, they hated their home, they hated life. i wouldn't wish that on anybody.
i do think a partner should have a say in the matter of getting an abortion, but i do not think the choice should hinge on whether or not they say yes or no. it would also be their child, yes; but do they have to carry the baby to term? no, and to me that's very important. the act of having a baby is more 70-30 than 50-50, and i believe that the decision should be the woman's first and foremost.
i know i personally would be required to have an abortion if i ever got pregnant. i cannot handle a child mentally nor physical- i literally cannot carry a child to term. so i've always been very pro-choice, especially if health is a concern. but what i'm most concerned about is the child themselves. a good human comes from good parenting, and we need more good humans in this world.
getting an abortion is a hard, hard thing to do. it hits a woman hard, and to have them harassed for something that's already difficult as hell? completely unkind and cruel.
and after giving birth, it's possible that the woman will end up pooping out of her vagina.
pooping. from her vagina.

Having a baby which is to be born in an environment where he is not welcome is, in my opinion, way worse than actually putting a halt in a fetus' development. Unlike this latter, a newborn is actually considered a human being, a creature whom, in a way, started his/her life. Thus said, growing up among people who do not wanted that baby in the first place can be highly damaging for him/her, which can create traumas and scars of a lifetime.
Of course, there are people who could adopt the baby, but that does not even autmatically mean they will take care of them him/her well.
There's just something about loving your own child, I guess.
I am pro choice, because I believe that it is unfair to force a woman to deal with so much responsability, if she's not willing to, or does not feel like putting any effort into - because being a parent is no easy task.
Of course the father should have a word in the matter - not because he does not have ovaries like women - but because he took part in the process afterall (well, unless we're considering a case where rape is involved?) and it's his seed too.

I am a bit conflicted on this subject. While I do believe women should be able to choose whatever they want, I personally would never get an abortion unless the baby or I were at risk of dying. Personally, I believe that life begins at conception, but at the same time I understand that some women can't and do not want a child. However, using abortion as birth control is one of the dumbest things I've heard of.
So yeah, as you can see... I am pro-choice but also pro-life. Odd how I can be both, but I am. So, that's how that works, even if it is conflicting.

No but seriously, #TeamAbortion
Although only within a short time. Some countries allow abortions up to a large amount of time into the pregnancy and I'm strongly against that.
Yes, I agree and personally think that if you are going to have an abortion it should be done within the first trimester. Just recently I heard of someone aborting a full-term baby or something and when it came out alive they left him/her a bucket of water to drown. Not sure when this happened, I don't recall when I read the article, but that is just wrong in my opinion. If you're going to get rid of a perfectly healthy full-term baby, give it up for adoption.
Where the HELL did this idea come from???!!?!?? It's totally false, so please, what gave you this idea?
