S/O's and abortions - Debates

~~felifreshh~~ · 10-23-2009, 02:43 PM

If your S/O or babies father wants to keep the baby, and you don't. Should he have the right to fight the abortion and make you carry it and give it to him?

No way. No man should have the right to control a woman's body like that. Her body, her choice.

I think something like that depends on so many factors....I can't really give a definitive answer.

I said other. I don't think anyone should be able to tell someone what to do with their body, but because it's also HIS, that's where it gets sticky.

I think he could go to court for a protection order for the baby to keep you from getting an abortion. So the courts see it as yes, he does have rights.

Yeah sure, once he can figure out how to carry it and deliver it himself, he gets a say. Until than, no. I mean I understand it must be hard for a guy to not have a say in this, but it is just not his body that has to go through it.

No one tells me what to do with my body.

This is how I feel also.

My husband says yes because he is very much prolife. I don't know how to answer because I would never have an abortion so I wouldn't be in that situation and can't speak for anyone else.

He has rights to the child. To me, it's not just about a woman's body. My definition of a child starts much sooner than most people here. Sure, a woman can do what she wants with her body but this situation, to me, concerns a child also.
