Melanie McCulley, a South Carolina attorney, coined the term male abortion in 1998, suggesting that a father should be allowed to disclaim his obligations to an unborn child early in the pregnancy.

McCulley’s male abortion concept aims to equalize the legal status of unwed men and unwed women by giving the unwed man by law the ability to ‘abort’ his rights in and obligations to the child. If a woman decides to keep the child the father may choose not to by severing all ties legally.
