the mother happens to have the blessing of bearing the child, a gift denied to the father.
And I'm sure the majority of fathers are very very glad of that fact. I know that my hubby is. But then he doesn't have a ego problem with women in general.
Even if we go along with your charming assertion that "the pregnant woman has a shit load more 'custody' ", that shouldn't give her the right to kill the baby.
It does give her the right to remove it from her body. AND the ability.
No more so than whichever parent has custody of a growing child.
| Sorry it upsets you gary, but the fact remains, that LEGALLY, when the question arises regarding whether to continue treatment or allow the child to die, THAT decision rests solely with the custodial parent. Bother not the cat. For they are sneaky and will piss on thy keyboard. |
