Do read the whole article before commenting.
Where as I have every sympathies with the women in this case or anybody, male or female, unable to have children. I don't think its right to force someone to become a parent against their wishes.
Throw in the fact that the male partner may have begun another relationship with or without children and have his own financial and/or family responsibilities with a new partner which would be affected by this decision.
The man would be financially responsible under current law, if we take this away in this case, could we potentially open up legal problems for unrelated cases in the future?

I agree with you really. Both parents have to consent, and either can withdraw that consent. So it is, so it should be.
It's been featured this morning on my local news report as Natalie Evans is taking it to the Appeal courts today. That was the only link I could find.

Short discussion though, wasn't it?
