It's not unfairly weighted at all.
The father doesn't have to put himself through any physical discomfort or danger and therefore the entire decision rests with the mother. She should take on board the views of the father, but there is no possible way that you can make them binding in any way shape or form.

if he wanted to keep it
he shouldn't have flung his muck up someone that didn't want a baby.

This is the key thing.

Luckily men are usually very careful about where they fling their muck

Like I said,
I am not putting forward the idea that fathers should be able to overrule the mother's wishes. I've got no alternatives because there aren't any.

And I meant that family law in general, not specifically abortions, is unfairly weighted towards the mother.
