Abortion

Let me get this straight.

The Religious Right believes that a person is created at the moment of conception so that even a morning-after pill is murder.

The Wymyn's Left believes that a fetus is a (disposable, at her sole discretion) part of a woman's body until it is born.

Whereupon the father is responsible for contributing to the child's livelihood. A skeptic might wonder whether the vehemence with which wymyn claim sovereignty over their bodies is intended to ensure that the foregoing feature attracts minimal attention.

What would the consequences be if unwilling fathers started sending formal, notarized requests to the mothers requesting that the pregnancy be aborted?

Complicated.
