This will be fun, I can predict the different responses already !!:mundabhangra:

 

Should the father have a say in a consentual relationship ?

This meaning it's not a rape or forced pro-creation in any way, but both have happily consented to their nocturnal activities (or during the day if preferable !!)

 

My answer a quite clear and confident YES

 

WHY ?

 

This is talking about a child, who will have parents.

TWO of them hopefully!

The Parents both have equal roles in the upbringing of the child.

Since the child BELONGS to both Mum and Dad equally ie. 50/50.

 

Whether the child later grows up and decides to belong more to one than the other, then that is a different matter.

However, no parent has the right to say before birth that the child will be more of mine ie.70/30 or similar....Or BELONG more to me.

 

Since, in the making of this episode if you look behind the scenes you will see that both Mummy and Daddy were EQUALLY responsible in the making!!

 

If these to be parents have to make a decision on wether to proceed with a pregnancy or not, then they BOTH eqally have to come up with a reasonable decision, and both says carry equal weight.

 

I know there will be many that will disagree and come out with the mother does all the carrying and hard work..etc..

BUT- my point is about looking at it from the future child's point not from mum's or dad's.

 

I will comment more later from the 'No'' answer viewpoints.
