To an unborn child? None. The biological father has no say whatsoever in whether or not the mother gets an abortion or how the mother chooses to carry and deliver the baby.The moment the child is born, however, the married father has the same rights as the mother.

He also has the right to voice his opinion about any early medical decisions that might have to be made, such as circumcision.

The answer depends totally on whether or not you were married to the child's mother. Any child born to a married couple is considered to be the legal child of the husband until proven otherwise. HOWEVER, if you were NOT married to the child's mother, then you have no legal rights, even if you are the father. An unwed mother who has a child is considered the sole legal parent of that child in most states. Even if you were proven to be the father - you have no legal rights without going to court , if you were not married.
