Ohio legislator wants to give men final say in abortion

Story here

Quote:
Led by Rep. John Adams, a group of state legislators have submitted a bill that would give fathers of unborn children a final say in whether or not an abortion can take place.

This is just wrong, IMO. If a woman does not want to carry a child to term, it should be her decision alone. The man should respect that decision; after all, it's not his body that will be carrying the child.

Quote:
Claiming to not know the father's identity is not a viable excuse, according to the proposed legislation. Simply put: no father means no abortion.

So if the guy hits and runs, you're screwed.

Quote:
In addition, women would be required to present a police report in order to prove a pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.

You know, this bill also doesn't take into account threats to the mother's life. So the father can force the mother to have the child, even if it means she'll die from it.

This is a travesty of justice, pure and simple.
If a woman is not allowed to control her own body, what can she be allowed to control?

How disgusting. I can't seriously see the bill getting passed, but still...

*shudder* Ugh. What a sickening thought.

It's sad how mean people can be.

So my advice to you is just to be a sweet pickle and everything will turn out for you in life - everything.

...and someone needs to tell

...and someone needs to tell him that when men can have children, they can make decisions. Is anyone sensing a guy who wants men to be in power? Or is that just me being sexist...?

Holey crap

Does this man have a daughter? Does he have a mother he loves? I simply don't understand it. What if a law passed that didn't allow men to get tested for STDs unless their partner was notified of the results? I know that dosen't even come close to the same level, but there would still be outrage because of it. Gosh darn it, I have to go punch something now.
