Toot. Toot. One of the highlights of my life/career was being cited by the Supreme Court of Canada in Tremblay v Daigle, which confirmed that a fetus has no legal status as a person and that men, while claiming to be protecting fetal rights, cannot acquire injunctions to stop their partners from obtaining abortions. The fetus is not considered to be an independent entity but as a part of the mother until born as a viable, independent human. Which would prevent bullshit like this. Oddly enough, I knew the Plaintiff, kinda, from when I was a kid. Both adults were profoundly deaf, not exactly the brightest bulbs on the porch, apparently could not live independently and my impression was that he was simply being used as a shill for his church/the "movement". Ugh. Thank God that shit is completely and forever off the table in Canada. He has also been convicted of assaulting 14 people; all women who he had been in "relationships" with.
I'm sorry I get it would suck if a woman you knocked up got an abortion and you were pro-life but I feel like pro-life men should be more careful about who they stick it in. Like take some responsibility, the man has to put it in there in order for her to abort it and I haven't seen any difference in carefullness with protection between guys who own Bible's and those who don't. This law just opens woman up to being stuck in controlling, manipulative scenarios. Not to mention a man agreeing to an abortion and then lying after the fact to get at her.
Generally, I believe, states have other law such that make it illegal to go to another state with the intention of doing something that is illegal in your home state.
The situation all around fucked up then. I was hoping that at the very least there was a pragmatic solution until the legislation was revoked. Something like how Irishwomen travel to Britain for the procedure :| Does this also extend to going overseas? I would imagine that if it were posited as a human rights or corruption regulation it would, but IDK if that is the case.
