For the record, I know three atheists who are staunchly anti-abortion, so I wouldn't make this a religious thing.
I know you aren't going to like this answer, but this really is up to the state of S.D.'s legislature and then judicial system. I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life (I think you know what I mean. Let me know if this needs explaining.) I can understand being the father of an unborn child and being willing and able to raise that child, only to have no say-so in the fetus' abortion. I could see that as a very frustrating feeling. However, I don't think the ability to terminate the life of the doctor is a rational legislative path. A rational alternative would be to give the birth father or grandparent a right of refusal, understanding the child would be theirs at birth. I haven't thought that out all the way, but it seems reasonable. What do you think?
