A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE

Hearing of the draconian laws being put forth in re abortion, I wonder...is there any law opposing abortion that penalizes the male for impregnating the woman? As the female is penalized for being impregnated?

Is there a law even being suggested that requires the male take lifetime responsibility for his part in the pregnancy? That shames the male for his part in it? Or that requires a lifetime of care...medical, mental, physical...of the child? Or, for that matter, to years of monetary care for the child?

What comparative law could there be to the one being suggested (in Georgia, I believe) where any woman requesting an abortion must submit to a medically unnecessary vaginal exam?

I do not advocate for or against abortion. I do advocate for the woman's right to choose especially since the woman is the sole party held responsible for the outcome. It seems that legislators, at one time all male still majority male, have never held the man to account with regard to a  child...born or unborn. Woman's work, don'cha know.

As is often said, if you find a turtle on a fence post, you know it did not get there alone.

Thank you.
