- Philosopher George W. Harris- there are circumstances under which a woman's decision to have an abortion would be morally wrong as it would do harm to the father.
- if the father has a morally legitimate interest in having a child, and the mother misleads the father into believing she will give him a child if he does certain things, and the father does there things for the specific purpose of having a family, it is wrong for the mother to deliberately prevent the father from having that child.
