Mens' Rights in Procreation: Goose Meets Gander

New York Times today on the juxtaposition of two roles for men in contemporary reproductive practices:

Case study one: a pregnant woman wants an abortion. Her husband doesn't. Should he have a say? Case study two: a woman wants to become pregnant with frozen embryos. Her ex-husband opposes the decision. Should he have a say?

The answer, legally, is no in the abortion case, and in the case of frozen embryos, almost always yes.
