It’s a tale as old as time. Dude gets his girlfriend knocked up, but is insisting she keeps the baby, while she doesn’t want to.

The biology of the situation kind of gives the woman veto power over this whole thing, at least with modern medical knowledge. And that’s what this is all about, isn’t it? Men are historically used to a certain level of privilege, and some men object whenever they are told “no”, whether it’s in the workplace or at home. But now, they can’t trap a woman anymore by knocking them up – at least as long as contraception, birth control, and abortion access are available. This lawsuit seems to reassert that control over women on behalf of “all current and future fathers”.
