I feel sorry for the woman and think that douchebag should get what's coming to him but I think that the laws need to be ammended so that situations like this one do not occur or are at least less likely to occur. This incident also brings up some questions.
If a man does not want the child he should have the right to have a "financial abortion", that is to say that if the female disregards his wishes about not wanting the child then she should have the burden of raising it.
Also if this guy is gonna get charged for murder for what he did then logically speaking a 6 week old fetus is being treated legally as a human being with full rights. Why then is it that those rights are not afforded to a fetus if the man wants to keep the child and the woman aborts?
This brings up issues of equality and political correctness in my opinion. It's not an easy solution but it's something that needs to be considered.
