When they advance medical science to the point that someone else can take the fetus and let it grow in their body the mother is the only one entitled to make these decisions.

This is a completely different issue.  Children need parental permission for other medical procedures so I can actually see an argument for minors to get parental permission fopr an abortion.

I abhor abortion; however, even I know there are reasons for it. It there is someone else (especially blood related) that wants and is able to rear the child then there is absolutely no logical reason the mother should be able to abort the child. Of course this changes if the mother didn't voluntarily participate in the act or in medical issues. 

Should be the case when the reason for the abortion is The mom just don't want it; somebody does.

Not sure I'm following that?

Wouldn't it be more logical to say if the mother didn't want the child she shouldn't have participated in the act that can create one?

It would be more logical for the man to fornicate with like-minded individuals if he staunchly opposes abortion.  Go ahead and have that conversation first if it means that much to you.

I know lots of women that would lie just for the chance to sleep with me.

2.  Go for it.

That's not a right anyone has over another. Until medical science advances to the point where the embryo can be removed and raised externally the only person that has the ultimate say is the woman that is pregnant.

The father does not have a right to his off-spring simply because he doesn't have the tools to develop it' even though, its creation is because of him. Has he no rights?

Why don't we say until medical science comes up with a fool-proof way to prevent pregnancy; if you enter into the contract you are equally responsible for the results.

Guess your logic here might make sense in a middle school boys locker room, but it has no place in a debate among adults.  Thanks for showing how much respect you have for women.
