I've always wondered how, if the fetus is property of the woman, why exactly does the man have zero say in what happens to that fetus? Afterall, in a child support case, the man is always told, "You played, you pay". In other words, you slept with her and made this kid, it's 50/50, so do your part. But if a woman wants to abort the baby and the man wants to keep it... the law says, "it's not yours to decide what happens to it". Seems a little hypocritical to me. She wants to keep the kid, and you don't, tough crap, open your wallet and pay up. But if a man wants to keep the kid, and the woman doesn't, tough crap, the kid is getting terminated. |
I think you are misinformed as to why a woman is guaranteed the right to an abortion. It does not mean the fetus is the property of the woman. The reasoning is that the state has a compelling interest to give precedence to the woman's right to privacy (which guarantees abortion) until the fetus is viable. A fetus does not violate a man's constitutional right.
