Yesterday I talked about the issue of a daughter being legally allowed an abortion without a parent’s prior consent or knowledge.
Today is a similar discussion. The fact;
If your son’s girlfriend is pregnant, not only does he have no rights when it comes to deciding the outcome of the pregnancy, but the girlfriend has no legal obligation to even make your son aware that she is pregnant or what her intentions are toward the pregnancy.
My own opinions on this issue are similar to yesterdays. I believe that the young man should have the right to be made aware of the pregnancy if both parties were consenting to intercourse in the first place. I agree with the law that the final decision regarding the pregnancy should remain with the young lady.
Again, please give your own opinions and viewpoints in the comments.

Well, young girls do not get pregnant by themselves! It takes two and I really think the boy deserves the respect of being part of the decisions. After all he was part of the process! Also, I think that allowing the girl to not let the boy know fosters more of the, shall we say “stigma” of boys not having to be responsible for their actions in this regard. If we want boys and girls to be responsible I think it is only right that both are aware and both make some decisions!
Yeah, I do believe that the young lady should have have the final say on what happens though, it is after all her body.
Also, I would like to know if I was a grandparent and have the option of adopting the child myself if my son and the girl were not able or willing to raise the baby.
However, I can’t go as far to say those rights should outweigh hers either.
