I notice you refer to it as "her" child, and the man is faceless. Men tend to love their children just as much as women do. A man is just as responsible for the chil;d as the woman is. Without the man, no conception. No man, no baby. Yet all the physical and emotional ties between a man and his child are ignored.
Yes, the woman suffers the effects of pregnancy. Yes, they can be difficult. That is why we have contraception. It's not 100% effective, but it's rather close. Does this give her the right to abort without even consulting with the father?
I would be damn annoyed if a woman suddenly announced "I took the decision to kill our child because it was making my ankles puffy (or 'I don't want stretchmarks), and as a woman, it's my right to make that decision regardless of what you say."
In all other aspects, a man is held as accountable as the father of the child, yet has no say in it's life or death? Disgraceful.
