Show of Hands

I don't support abortion at all. But if it's going to happen, why don't both parents get equal representation? It shows the flaw of the "my body" argument. Daddy put his genes in the baby too.

I agree 100%.

reasons & case of rape but I'd prefer for rape that the morning after pill be used) I firmly believe that if it is allowed to be a choice, it is the woman's choice & her choice alone.

I woke up to use the restroom and decided to post this question before returning to bed.

The internet.

How do you know all these "anniversaries"

Ummm ......because even though there's an equal share of the genes only one person's body is doing the work of growing the baby. While I don't fully support abortion (I think it should be available for medical ......

Sometimes I suppose, but the night is still early in Arizona.

I disagree. Assuming that a "right to abortion" exists, I think it is reasonable to attach to marriage the responsibility to obtain consent from the husband before an abortion procedure, excluding cases of spousal rape or maternal health.

Interesting decision.

In this case, Planned Parenthood v. Danforth (1976), the Supreme Court invalidated spousal consent laws. In Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), the Supreme Court struck down spousal notification laws.

A woman can abort without her husband knowing.

First, rape is the reason behind one percent of abortions. Second, it would not place an undue burden on the married woman to require her to sign a statement at the same time she is signing the informed consent form.

It's exactly because of spousal abuse that I agree. How can you input that exception and expect it to be enforceable?

Get the district attorney, a judge, or a physician (not the abortionist) to certify in good faith that it is probable that the woman has suffered abuse; or require the woman to sign a statement saying that rape has occurred under penalty of perjury.

I consider it none of my business. That woman's story and her reasons for wanting an abortion are nobody's business but her own. I can't imagine the kind of mental pain behind which would have a married woman feeling like she needs a secret abortion.

There's a reason so few women feel brave enough to speak out in situations like that. Lets try not to punish them for being victims.

Do you sleep?

Do you?
