It's cruel and unusual punishment. I hate to make this comparison but for psychological effect it's probably similar to rape (nonconsensual violation of genitals) Don't make this a political issue. This is strictly an ethical one. |
It is an issue on many fronts and I'm not talking politics. The issue is nothing like rape, as we are not referring to rape situations. It is a situation where a man and a woman chose to have sex. If a pregnancy results, either the option to end the pregancy or continue it and raise the child is the mother's and the mother's alone, or the responsibility is also the father's and he must bare the burden of raising the child but also consent to ending the pregnancy artificially. I'm just talking about consistency in laws governing pregnancy and children, regardless of what your view on abortion is. The "it's the mother's body, her choice" but "you made the baby, you gots to pay for it" mentality is incredibly inconsistent.
