I can't believe one person here endorses a woman not even telling the father that she is pregnant. That's just about the height of immaturity to me. I don't see how this law has any more potential for being abused than women falsely crying rape, which happens a lot. I suppose the only people against this are people who support abortion and fear the government is trying to make a blanket ban on it. Otherwise, I ask again, why does it matter if the government keeps tabs on who lives and dies in this country, born or not? I don't buy the privacy issue at all. We give up a lot of liberties for the common good. The police can force me to give a semen sample if someone accuses me of rape. That seems pretty invasive to me, but nobody is lobbying against rape laws. Preganancy is not and never should be a hidden process. I sincerely hope those against this don't support women aborting their children without even telling the father of the pregnancy. A few responses seem to be going in that direction but maybe I'm reading too much into it.
