Haz Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 http://www.10tv.com/live/content/local/stories/2009/07/22/abortion.html?sid=102 COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio lawmaker has introduced a bill that would prevent a woman from having an abortion unless she gets written consent from the biological father. The proposal by State Rep. John Adams, R-Sidney, has stirred up controversy across the nation, 10TV's Kevin Landers reported. "What does the father have to say in the abortion of his child? He has nothing to say (under current law)," Adams told 10TV News. In the case where the father isn't known, House Bill 252 would compel the woman to provide a list of names of people who may be the father in an effort to determine paternity. The bill also would make it a crime for women to lie about who the father is, and make it illegal for doctors to perform abortions without the father's consent. The bill would force a woman to have a child if the father does not agree to an abortion. "That child should be born, not killed," Adams said. The proposal has created a fire storm among pro-choice advocates. Pro-Choice Ohio issued a statement saying Adams' bill is "completely out of touch with Ohio's mainstream values. The measure is a clear attack on a woman's freedom and privacy.... It does absolutely nothing to reduce the need for abortion." The group Feminists for Choice released a statement saying "...this is ridiculous. It's just another mechanism for demonizing and isolating women who have sex." Planned Parenthood vows to fight the legislation if it becomes law. "It would require written informed consent of the potential father," Gary Daugherty, executive director of Planned Parenthood of Ohio, told 10TV News. "The (U.S.) Supreme Court has already spoken on the issue. It is clearly unconstitutional." Adams' bill is not considered likely to gain approval in the Democratic-controlled House. Watch 10TV News and refresh 10TV.com for additional information. Think it might catch on? Personally (although it boils my piss in principle) I dont see how any woman needs permission to do exactly what she wants with her own body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 "The bill would force a woman to have a child if the father does not agree to an abortion." So presumably if the father does not agree to a child she has to get an abortion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 There's never going to be an easy way around, granted it's a womans body, however imo the father should have a choice in the matter (unless it's going to have health implications on the mother, which should then be over ruled), if you put yourself in that position i'd hate to be wanting a child, having one then finding out that there's nothing I could do to keep it.

Joey Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Actually, that reminds me of a point I forgot to make, but in basic terms. It could lead to a lot more "home" abortions, which can't be good neither. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I can't imagine the feeling of having a kid inside of me that I really didn't want / couldn't afford to have at this time in my life, yet having some cunt father intentionally say no.

Mowen Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 If the two people can't agree on whether they want a kid or not it's never going to be easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 If the two people can't agree on whether they want a kid or not it's never going to be easy. Aye. I think its fair to say that a hell of a lot of women who are considering abortions aren't on the best of terms with the prospective father. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the real world Joey and I wish I had an answer to the problem of a man wanting a child but having absolutely no say on the matter. But I think on balance, it is probably best to leave it as it is at present. After all, if you were the carrier, what would you think of someone else controlling your very own body, against your own wishes? I reckon you just wouldnt stand for it. And they reckon it's a man's world..... It should be noted that this move in Ohio is presented by the pro lifers who will do anything to prevent an abortion no matter what the circumstances. These people would cheerfully arrest control of a woman's body from herself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toonlass Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 What if the woman was raped? Does she have to get permission from the rapist to abort an unwanted child? And what if he says no? She would then have to bring up a child conceived by rape? Mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
