Absolutely not. I'm all for equal rights and responsibilities for fathers, but the obvious biological differences here cannot be ignored. It's her body and whether or not the child is born has a bigger impact on her than on the father (even after the child is born, the father probably will expect her to do more than half the childrearing). I know you (dazzleman) said earlier that feminists can't change biology, but the fact is that anti-feminists can't either.

As an aside, a potential law enforcing notification would only affect a minority of women, since most women in healthy relationships would discuss abortion with their husband anyway. The minority of women that would be affected would primarily be women in abusive/unequal relationships.

Why should married women have fewer rights than unmarried women?

Women do not give up control of their bodies when they get married.
