Discriminatory Abortion Rights in Maryland

Douglas Bittinger writes "Maryland has a facially discriminatory abortion law giving women, but not men, the right to terminate pregnancy, and thus the right not to have to pay child support. A father defending a child support action has filed a motion for summary judgment alleging that abortion laws discriminate on the basis of gender, and child support therefore violates men's 14th amendment equal protection rights. The case is CAD 04-04369, in the Prince George's County, Maryland, Circuit Court."

Ed. note: The Daily Docket listing for the court is found here though I was not able to locate a case search facility on the web site.
