I think in the case that its just the mother it is her decision alone to have the abortion...but in the case of both parents being there it is up to them both because the decision affects more then just the women...but u must remember they have their own reasons for not haveing a baby yet or not haveing one at all

i feel that having an abortion is a personal choice or decision, and should be considered by both partners, but i also feel that a teen girl who feels and know for sure that she's not ready or not mature enough mentally or phyically should be able to decide that for themselves.

I believe if the couple is still together than they should decide together whether or not if they should keep it. If the father of the baby isn't around then the women should decide on her own. But I think it should be a dual decision by a couple. saying that if a couple decides to not have the baby i think they should split the cost for it. It is a split decision so it should be a split cost.

I truly believe it is a mutual desicion between the both parents or partners. The women has to understand that her partner might want to keep the child or vice versa. if there is conflict than the child can be adopted by the father or mother.

I think it depends on the situation between the two parents? Like the background information...was this a one night stand? Rape? Both parents were in a relationship and one's not ready for a child? But all in all the main thing is that the child created is innocent and also a blessing. Basically whoever makes the decision to have the abortion whether it's the mother or father should pay. because if I didn't believe in abortions I wouldn't contribute any money to one
I think that abortion is wrong and no woman should go through it. To me if you feel unprepared,scared,frustrated,or is having your baby due to an rape that their are other options to go through with. I can understand why some rape victims would feel like they want to have abortions,because that was a terrible thing that happen to them.But if they feel so strongly about not having the baby they could just give it up for adoption.Their are millions of people in the world who love kids and want kids but are not able to have them so why not help someone out instead of aborting a child that could grow up to do wonders in the world.But if a woman does decide to have an abortion i think she should inform the father because its his baby to not just her's and I think the decision should be made together, not the father telling the mother what to do or the mother telling the father what to do and if they do decide to have and abortion then both should pay.And even though i don't believe in abortions I think if the father is no longer apart of the mothers life than she can make that choice on her own,but if he is their for her trying to be a father then she shouldn't decide on her own.

I believe that if the father is not around then it is solely the mothers decision because she is the one dealing with the decision. If both parents are giving a hundred percent into the relationship then the decision is mutual because both parents feelings are now involved with the situation. Going through an abortion is hard on all that are involved so the decision can affect everyone's emotions.

Both parents should make the decision on whether or not to have an abortion. One partner might want to keep the baby even though the other might not. But they should both still talk about it. The parents should also pay for it since it is there decision. I think the time when a woman can decide on her own to have an abortion is when she's a teen and isn't mature enough to have a kid yet and wouldn't be able to afford it. The woman can also not tell the father if they're not together and fighting.

Who should make the decision to have an abortion? Well ,it depends on the individual circumstances of each individual case. That is not a question that can be simply answered. It is however easier to answer the question of who will pay for it. In the event a woman has been raped, then obviously the woman alone should make the decision, based on whether or not she thinks she can emotionally handle carrying the child for 9 months and then possibly raise it after such a traumatic event. In the instance where both parents are involved, I personally believe that both parents should have a say in the decision. In the instance where it was rape, if the rapist is caught ,he should have to pay not only for the abortion ,but for all future medical costs that the victim has ,such as psychiatric counseling or possible gynecological problems resulting from the rape. Some of you say, "but he will be in jail" and I say"yes, so lets send his $15 a month state pay to his victim!!!" In the case where both parents make the decision, then it should be paid equally by both parents. It is okay for the woman to make the decision herself when the dad is gone already or she has been raped. tbc... msh

Obviously, it is ok for a woman to decide on her own to have one if she was a rape victim, or if the father is unable to be found in time to do it before the allotted time limit depending on which state you live in, and if she was a victim of rape ,she shouldnt even have to tell the father (if you can even call him that).

It kind of depends on what the relationship status is of the couple. If the mother is one her own then without a doubt she should be able to make the decision with or without the man. But in the case of where the couple is together and they would be ready for a child then the man should also have a say but if the woman feels as though she cannot go through with it then they should be able to make the final decision. But all in all the father should know what is going on no matter what.
I believe it is solely the woman's choice. Even if she has a partner it is my experience that even when the father says he will be there for the baby, he leaves and all he has told you were lies. Then the mother has a life time of supporting the child. If the woman does not want an abortion but the father does and she agrees because she feels she cannot take care of it on her own, and she is not comfortable with adoption, then
the father should pay. She should not have to inform the father in cases of rape, or father is known to be an addict or abuser.

I feel that decision should not even need to be made. Abortion is wrong and should remain that way. In most cases pregnancy is the risk you take when you decide to have sex. There are many other better options for both the baby and the mother and father. But I guess if you would like to commit murder and bear that feeling for the rest of your life, than I feel it should be a mutual decision unless the father is not in the picture.

I think the only time a women should ever have an abortion is if she has been raped. Unless she was raped, then it was her dumb self that consented and went along with the sex. There is always adoption rather than murder and I think its way better off. Well I don't fully agree with what I am about to say but if they baby has received damage while in the womb or if the doctor can be 100% sure that the baby will be retarded or need daily care 24 hours around the clock. Also if you are going to dod that to a special needs child both parents should agree not just the mom. I feel only like the mother should have full control of abortion if she has been raped and that is it.

I believe that in most situations there is a better alternative to abortion. If you had consentual sex, then it you need to be responsible for the possible consequences of your actions. However, if people have sex and get pregnant then decide to have an abortion, it should be the decision of both people involved not just the mothers. While it is the mother's body, it is still the father's child and he should have some say in what will happen to it. In the case of rape, the woman alone should be able to decide. However, as many others have said, the rapist should have to pay for all medical bills that the victim may have.
Morgan Russian
I think that both parents should agree on abortion. the decision that the parents make will affect there future.If the father is not around or it is not a good enviornment for the baby up grow up in then I think the women has a right to decide.
Terrian
I am a catholic and Catholic's are against abortion. In my opinion it is killing a human beings life, that is why I don't approve of abortion. It is God's gift to mankind. If they don't want the baby in the first place they should be careful and plan it right. If it was accidental, they don't have to kill the baby, there are other options rather than abortion(like getting someone to adopt the baby)

I believe that both parents should be involved in the decision of weather or not to have have an abortion. It is equally the fathers child as it is the mothers. I believe that all abortion clinics should require both parents to agree to the abortion. I think that in no case should the mother have the say, in all cases both parents should consent to the abortion.

I feel that the mother should be the one who makes the decision to have an abortion. I also believe that if it is a healthy relationship that the both parents should talk about it and make a decision together. If for some reason they can’t decide then it should be the mother’s choice. She is the one who will have to carry the baby for 9 months and the one who will have to give birth. A decision like that can only be made by the person who is going through it, which would be the mother.
Normally I would say that the father should be informed of the decision, the only time that would be ok for the mother not to tell him would be rape, or if the mother is in danger of being around that father.

I don't think that abortion is ever good, but I think that if it happens, the decision should be up to both parents. The woman has to have the child, but the man has responsibilities to pay for it too. It affects everyone involved in the situation.

I think it's the couple choice to have an abortion. I think they both should pay for it acuse they both are responsible. I think if a women wants an abortion she can get it, its her body and she can do with it what she wants. I feel taht if a girl has a bad father taht she couldn't see herself with, then she could get an abortion without his consent, because if he is bad then he won't want the baby anyways i would assume.
-jake rone-
Both parents should make the decision, yes its the woman's body, but its also the dads child. If you accidently got knocked up than yes you should have the baby and learn your lesson, but if the woman is raped than personally I wouldn't want to have the baby. I think that the woman should ALWAYS inform the father of the abortion or just being pregnant, he should have the right to know and as far as paying for it to be done, the woman shouldn't pay for it, either the father or the rapist should.

I think the father and the mother both should have the decision, if the father wants the baby and the mother doesn't... the father should be able to take it. if the lady was rape then it should go to the lady who got raped
