Womens rights
Abortion, father has no legal say in the matter. But if the father has no responsibility for making the decision as to whether a child will be born why should he be imagined to have any responsibility then should the mother choose not to abort? This was my favorite question out of the whole chapter. I never thought of abortion in a light like this, it opened my eyes a little. Pg. 82 “To argue a special right for maternity leave is to suggest that women are essentially different from men and their “natural” place is to bear and rear children.” And that maternity leave should be argued more as a need than a right.

What about the childs need to have a male role model in thier life? Also just because the baby is carried by the women this doesn't mean that the spouse or partner isn't involved in an abortion decision they just don't have the legal power because it's not thier body and soul that has to be violated. Woman are often pressured into abortion by the people around them including the father.
