Reply #134: Under current law he and the fetus have rights

[RB TexLa]

They both end at the moment the woman decides to terminate the pregnancy. Under the law an "unborn child" can inherit property, can be part of a lawsuit, is protected under many safety laws. A father can call the police on a pregnant wife who is abusing drugs or otherwise creating a safety issue for the fetus. But the rights to control and regulate one's own body freely granted in Roe v. Henry Wade ends all of these the moment a woman choses termination as no one but her has a say in what happens to her body. Abortion law is very difficult but the right of one to control their own body is and should be absolute. I should not have to notify anyone of anything I want done to me medically and neither should anyone else. I think if the "inform your spouse" law were not to have been overturned I have a good idea what changes would be made to it soon after. Some of my worries
