Default OT: Organ donation should be compulsory, not just "opt out"

No he can't. He can't get a paternity test on an unborn child. And if he
can, he can't force his wife to abort.


Well, of course he can't force her to abort, but if the child isn't
his, he's under no obligation to support it. Personally, if my wife
were to bear a child conceived by rape, I would support whatever
decision she made with regard to giving the child up for adoption or
keeping it, but if it were the result of adultery, I'd probably want
to get a divorce, and let her and the other man deal with the child.
Different men would come to different conclusions in such
circumstances, and that's understandable, but when it comes to the
decision to have an abortion, I don't see how the man's opinion is
relevant unless the woman seeks it in making her decision.


What if he still wants the woman for sex?



That's his business.
