Do you support mandatory spousal consent for abortions?

No. Just because the two people are married shouldn't give the spouse veto power.

Now, if you are asking about the consent of the father, well, if the father is willing to take 100 percent legal responsibility for the child, with the mother signing away all rights and responsibilties, then I'd lean in favor of that. Still problematic, of course, but I do generally agree with what Dazzleman and others have said about the idea that the two parents should have at least roughly equal rights.

Though I certainly wouldn't require the father to be notified. If he's not in the mother's life and isn't aware of what she's about to do, that's his own fault for taking off and he should have absolutely no right to stop her from having an abortion. Simply being the biological father shouldn't necessarily in and of itself give him equal rights, he has to be willing to take responsibility as well.
