No. The pregnant person is the only one who has the ultimate right to decide. There is no requirement that you get the male’s consent or that you notify him.
Still, the judge may ask about the male involved in your pregnancy, so have answers prepared. For example, they may ask if that person knows that you are pregnant and how they reacted. The judge could ask if the male knows about your decision to get an abortion and if they are supportive.
