No abortion without paternal consent

Simply put: no father means no abortion. In Ohio, a group of state legislators have submitted a bill that would give fathers of unborn children a final say in whether or not an abortion can take place. Victory for fathers' rights? Or resurgence of paternalism?

I know it's gonna get axed, but how can I resist:

no father means no abortion.

Because you really don't want to abort immaculate conception.

Hmm. I guess that means cortex fathered this thread. Nice going, pal.

A fine point of theology, quin, but immaculate conception isn't what you think it is.

It's not the virgin birth. It's Mary's being conceived without original sin.

Just sayin'...

This puts real undue pressure on unmarried women, and is a terrible law anyway.
