If you watched Boston Legal last night you'll know what I am talking about.
So would you vote for a court ordered abortion?
A black man was suing a lady who stole his sperm. He didn't want to have intercourse because he didn't want children. So she did him an oral favor, saved the sample and then later went to a fertility lab and had the sperm injected into her. She is pregnant.
So now he was suing to make her have an abortion because he claimed rape.
So I am just wondering what you think would be apropriate to do.

Isn't this subject a little too taboo for a light-hearted mommy BBC?

I can't see this lasting long since abortion talk isn't allowed.
Well, I don't think he can force her to have an abortion even if he claims rape. If you're on the side of woman's body, woman's choice, you obviously can't be for that. If you're pro life you're not going to agree with that. I think it would be hard to make it jibe with your belief system no matter which side you're on.
Now if his story is true, I don't think the poor bugger should have to pay child support!

It might fly on the debate board but most other boards consider it insensitive to alot of posters.

Weird. I can see how it isn't fair to the guy if he truly doesn't want a child, but as long as he can't be forced to pay child support then I guess they should leave it at that. I would not abort or ask a court to make a woman abort, but I would ask for him to be spared the child support. She wanted the kid, she should pay for it.
ETA: And for the record the OP is talking about a tv show for pete's sake. Why would that offend anyone? Geez, maybe I just don't wear my feelings on my sleeve, but I thought it was just a general question about a tv show.

Can't FORCE a woman to have an abortion, but then, I don't feel he should pay child support either...
How did the epi end?

Well its an interesting story because I can see his point to a certain degree. He will have a child walking around in the world who may one day come looking for him. His mother will know who he is and he could search for him. It's not like getting it from a sperm back where you can protect your identity. I certainly don't think he should have to pay for this child, but he may have to "pay" down the road in mental anguish. I don't think the courts should force anything on another person's body unless they are incapable of making their own decisions. It's a slippery slope.






If I agreed with you, then we'd both be wrong!

I don't think they can force an abortion. Hypothetically speaking, he should have been more responsible with his sperm. Granted you would never ever expect someone to do that, but he should have ejaculated elsewhere and disposed of it himself. However, I do think he should be exempt from any type of financial responsibility for the resulting, and possibly awarded money for mental suffering, etc. But they can not force a woman to have an abortion, there is no way.

Crazy byatch!!! LOL

I know we aren't allowed to debate abortion, but seeing as this is a hypothetical question, and no one is debating, I don't think it's that beg of a deal.

How did this TV show get the rights to my life story? I mean honestly, is nothing sacred anymore? I had all of my kids via oral sperm-banking.

Well I hope I don't get in trouble I just thought it was interesting episode.
BTW the end the court ruled in her favor and said no court would ever rule in his favor. But the man also decided he wanted to be in the child's life, just not involved with her.

I don't think it is against the rules to discuss abortion. It is against the rules to debate abortion. I have seen many discussions about this topic on babycenter. As long as it remains civil, I don't think they will close the thread.

Well sorry I should have explained that better, I am not racist! The woman made it a big deal and that is why she choose him because quote "she wanted a little obama baby".

Boston Legal is notorius for "pushing buttons" and going out of the way to shock and offend, so having a woman say she wanted a "little obama baby" on that show? Doesn't suprise me one bit...
OP, I think she said Black man, b/c on the show he was portrayed by a black man. She was just setting the scene to the actual show.
It's so hard to believe Boston Legal is a spinoff of The Practice.
