I could live with abortion being the “sole discretion of the woman” . . . PROVIDED she also has the sole responsibility for her choice.
But since she can make the “choice”, and STILL dun the father for 18 years of child support: that’s authority without the co-concomitant responsibility. . .and thus unacceptable.
And that’s before we even get into the rights of the child. . . .
“And thats before we even get into the rights of the child. . . .”
And the rights of the father. It is his child, too.
The burden of the decision to abort would never fall solely on her: it falls on the baby and on the father of the baby also.
