An abortion is either murder or it isn't.  Something can't be murder
from only one person's point of view.  If abortion is murder then it
shouldn't be allowed whether or not the child will be wanted.  You can't
legally murder someone just because no one likes him.  On the other
hand, if abortion isn't murder, then the father should have no say in
the matter (legally).  It's not his body.

(By the way, abortion isn't murder for the same reason that eating a
carrot isn't murder -- neither carrots nor fetuses are intelligent.)
