Spousal Notification for Abortion?
I stumbled upon this discussion of whether there should be a law requiring a woman to inform her husband of her intent to get an abortion...
Interesting to say the least.
This is difficult for me as on one hand I am in full agreement that the law needs to refrain and withdraw from issues of family.
On the other, provided at least one willing parent should we not value the life of that child and the relationship with the willing caretaker? Yes, obviously, this will require that the unwilling party (in this example the woman) to also at least financially care for the child until the age of 18-24 depending on various factors but is that not exactly what women expect from men when they choose to have children irrespective of their partners wishes?
The idea of enacting a law that further legislates families is extremely frightening. However, regardless of your ultimate stance on abortion, isn't is always preferable to err on the side of life?
