 While avoiding unwanted paternity has become a topic for the “men’s rights” movement, arguments for a “father’s right to choose” can begin from feminist defenses of procreative autonomy. What is at issue here is not whether an unwilling father has the right to compel a pregnant woman to have an abortion – this would be an intolerable invasion of her procreative autonomy – but whether he should be assigned the legal status, and legal support obligations, of fatherhood. If women have the right to avoid the status and burdens of motherhood, by parity of reasoning – the argument goes – men should have the right to avoid the status and burdens of fatherhood. Of course, the physical burdens of pregnancy provide a clear disanalogy between the cases (for related legal arguments against arguing from abortion cases to genetic parenthood cases, see Cohen 2007). But dismissing the comparison too quickly risks inattention to the costs of “forced fatherhood” on worse-off men (and their disproportionate enforcement on men of color in the US) (Brake 2005). Some would argue that even if men have the right to avoid involuntary fatherhood (especially in cases such as a “purloined sperm” case, in which they can deny moral responsibility), the claims of children outweigh a right not to become a parent (Overall 2012).
