I don't think the government or anyone has the right to tell women they can or can not. It should be up to the woman. She has to live with decision for rest of time.

So what about the father? Why does he not have any say in the matter? The baby is every bit as much his as it is the mother's.

Biologically speaking, the woman has to endure the health risks and responsibilities of pregnancy/labor. The man bears none of these risks or responsibilities after the fetus is concieved. So the decision to carry the baby to term ultimately belongs to the mother, as its her body.
