When we last left our procreation fighting heroes they were locked in a fierce struggle with their South Dakotan evil nemesis, Dr. Protecto. However, as the South Dakota ban on abortion appears headed to the Supreme Court for a final showdown, a new dark cloud appears off in the distance.
“Holy generation, altering court case, Bort-Man. What are we going to do?”
“I don’t know, but I fear the political landscape is changing. Watch out Fetus, a holy roller is right behind you!”
POW!! SCRAPE!! SUCK!!
[Elsewhere in the world...]
In a legal maneuver that has sent Planned Parenthood-type groups scrambling for rationale and sound positions, a 25 year male is attempting to absolve himself of responsibility to a child he fathered. It is a question that has begged an answer since Roe Vs. Wade became law in the 1970s: why should the women have ultimate say in determining which fetuses are brought to term and which die?
Mel Feit, founder of the National Centre of Men, who is representing Matt Dubay, the man attempting to divorce himself from his child, had this to say:
“Women now have the freedom and security to enjoy lovemaking without the fear of forced procreation.”
“Men are routinely forced to give up control, forced to be financially responsible for choices only women are permitted to make, forced to relinquish reproductive choice as the price of intimacy.”
Mr. Feit also went on to explain that it is his position that the lack of male reproductive rights violates the principle of equal protection granted by the Constitution.
So here we find ourselves at the crossroads of a sociological dilemma. If women have the right to govern over their bodies, why shouldn’t men have some sort of say in the decision of whether or not they wish to become a parent?
Catch-22s make for slippery slopes and while I don’t agree with abortions or Mr. Dubay’s desire to duck responsibility, I find our past actions as a country have lead us to a point where our distorted logic tells us men should have every right to not be a parent.
If abortion is a constitutional right of a women to protect themselves from forced parenthood, then that same Constitution tells us that men should have that same right; even if it is counter to the will of the women. So, basically, as it stands now I truly do believe two wrongs do make a right.
[Mean while, back at the Underground Clinic “RU-486” we find our heroes in conversation…]
“It appears there is new danger afoot, Fetus, and its’ name is distorted common sense.”
So, join us next week, where we will hear Fetus ask Lord Abortion, “When do I get rights and protection?”
Same batty time. Same batty place.
