Abortion: A Father's Rights

  • Planned Parenthood vs. Danforth

    The U.S. Supreme Court found that having a father's consent for a woman to have an abortion is unconsituational. (Right to Life of Michigan)
  • Gordon and Kilpatrick Study

    Gordon and Kalpatrick created a "counseling group that helped males who were assiting females at an abortion clinic. The men expressed the following emotions during the study/counseling: anxiety, helplessness, guilt, regret, and denial." ("Men and abortion," 2008)
  • Rothstein Study

    Rothstein Study
    In the year of 1978, Rothstein did a study on 60 men we were in the waiting room of an abortion clinic. Rothstein found that the men had a "desire to be caring husbands and fathers." ("Men and abortion," 2008)
  • Burchanan and Robbins Study

    The study found that, "the psychological distress scores were lowest among those adult males who had never experienced an adolescent pregnancy. However, an unexpected finding was that men whose partners had abortions during adolescence were more distressed in adulthood than the men who became fathers during adolescence." ("Men and abortion," 2008)
  • Coleman and Nelson Study

    This study found that, "Men may be more inclined to experience pronounced post abortive effects than women, because the decision to abort is ultimately the female's and the final decision opted for may not be congruent with the male's choice." ("Men and abortion," 2008)
