So. Ohio has this proposed law that would require a woman looking to get an abortion to get permission from the father before she can get the abortion. If she doesn't know who the father is, she'll have to provide a list of possible fathers and a paternity test would have to be done before she could get an abortion

I can see where you're coming from. I mean, I don't think it's right that a girl can choose to go have an abortion and never letting the baby daddy know she was pregnant. If I knew someone that was considering abortion, I'd try to talk her into telling the father. I think he has a right to know.
But then what about these girls that don't know who their baby daddy is? They have to do a paternity test. By the time this girl realizes she's pregnant THEN decides to have an abortion and THEN have to do paternity tests, that baby could already be born. Especially if the guys live out of state or they can't find them.
True, it works both ways but I just don't see making a woman carry a child she doesn't want for 9 months. True, she should've thought about that before having sex. I dunno, it's complicated. If there were a way to just transplant that baby to an artificial uterus, problem would be solved. It's wrong that the guy has no say but at the same time, it's wrong to tell a woman she HAS to carry that baby.
If this law gets passed, I figure there will be more illegal abortions performed. People will always figure out a way to get around things.
