Man's Attempt to Stop Girlfriend's Abortion Denied

	posted by Scott on Thursday March 29, @09:50PM from the reproductive-rights dept.
	Not PC sent me a link to this story from The Scotsman, which follows up to the earlier news we had reported on about a man who legally tried to stop his girlfriend from getting an abortion. The court apparently granted him an injunction to keep her from doing so, but she aborted the fetus anyway. The article didn't make it sound like Stephen Hone had any further legal right to sue for damages, or that he was planning on doing so. As I had said before, while the case brought up the fact that men have no reproductive rights currently, the issue we need to address is ending the ability for men or women to force their partner into parenthood.

foetal remains (Score:1) by Tom Campbell (campbelt@NOSPAMusa.net) on Friday March 30, @05:01PM EST (#1) (User #21 Info) Feminists maintain that no child exists until it is outside of its mother's body, and then its father must assume financial responsibility for it. In this case, the father has asked permission to bury the remains of his child. Who owns the remains of an abortus? If feminist dogma is consistent, the father would have an equal right to the remains as would its mother (as would be the case for a child who died). Tom Campbell
