Divorced Dad Barred from Implanting Frozen Embryos

Reproductive Rights cheddah writes "The New Jersey Supreme Court today barred a divorced father from having frozen embryos implanted in another woman, which would make his ex-wife a mother against her will." The article is here from the Boston Globe. The argument here is clear: women cannot be forced into unwanted parenthood. Now how about the same thing for men?

Indeed, no one should be forced to become a parent against his or her will. I am glad that the court re-affirmed that the father does have the right to decide whether to keep or destroy those embryos, though.

I wonder what would have happened if the mother developed a relationship with another woman and wanted to implant the embryos fertilized with the father's sperm into that woman?

That would be a politically correct double-whammy. If the father protested or the courts tried to intervene, the whole thing would be portrayed as a slap in the face not only to women's reproductive rights, but also to the lesbian lifestyle.
