A Prime Time Abortion and a Broken-Hearted Father
Article here. Excerpt:
'Last night’s episode of a popular prime time television show, Parenthood, dealt with the tragedy of fathers being legally excluded from the abortion decision.
...
Drew tells Amy that he wants to support her no matter what she decides to do about the pregnancy. He repeatedly insists that he loves her enough to support their new family regardless of hardships that may come their way. However, Amy becomes like a stone wall. Lyrics in the background aptly describe her demeanor: [she is] colder than a wave in the Arctic Ocean. A baby, she believes, will destroy her life.
...
This is reality. This is what abortion looks like when all is said and done. Fathers have no legal rights in the decision to keep or abort their own children. They have no say in a mother’s choice, even though they are equally responsible for the child’s conception.'
