RepublicanJen has a great post on the motives of the abortion on demand crowd.
I wasn't even aware of the Doe Vs Bolton case. The fact that that the "Doe" opponent wasn't even aware that she was involved in the case, or that she was going to forced into having an abortion even further shows that the pro-abortion side of this issue isn't really concerned about the "rights" of women, but only in furthering their agenda.
I agree with Jen that men should have at least some say in this issue as well.
The pro-abortionists say that it is strictly an issue of a womans right over their own body, but my feeling is that women give up part of that right when they voluntarily engage in activity that starts a new life and that the father is also part of that new life....half of the genetic input of that life is his; a woman, by engaging in sexual activity KNOWS of the possibility of pregnancy; by going ahead and engaging in that activity, I believe that she enters into a tacit contract with the father and tacitly gives him some say in the disposition of the results of that activity; if this is not so, by what reasoning can she demand support for that progeny from the father, even against his will?
If the law holds a father responsible, it should also hold him as having some rights. Responsibility without rights is just a further perversion of the perverted liberal idea that rights come without responsiblity.
What hypocrasy! It's OK for the killing on demand by a woman but the father of the unborn has no right to protect his unborn child from being murdered. This is no different than the extreme views that are held in less civilized countries where children are abandoned and left to death by starving or succombing to the elements. This is the fruit of the promiscuous decadent society we've allowed to progress. Another view is more abortions = less of them.
