I had this argument with my father on Sunday after I told them that Rob and I are finally pregnant.
My father (who cheated on mom for most of their married life) is adament that abortion is wrong because it's punishing/ killing the baby for the "sins" of the mother, but when I asked him about his responsibility once the mother was forced to have the baby, then it's not his business to feed, house or provide health care for that child. Totally fucking typical. I told him if he managed to spontaniously grow a uterus he might have grounds to discuss whether anyone else should have the right to decide about the contents of theirs, but that would be debatable.
This is also the same man who despite cheating with any available vagina once said "if God voted, he'd be Republican".
