Legal Question in Family Law in California

Fathers rights re: unborn child

What rights does the father have in regards to information about his unborn child? Particularly, I am interested to see if medical information should be made available. The mother and father are not married. The father has been denied access to information. Also, in regards to a possible abortion, does the father have any rights in that arena to stop an abortion?
