He stated, “If I thought that the man’s signature was required… required, in order for a woman to have an abortion, I’d have a little more peace about it…” He didn’t say whether a rapist would be able to send his signature by fax from prison, or not. But he’ll have “peace” and women will require a permission slip for their own bodies.

Whose pregnancy is it then? Oh… it’s the man’s! What a silly woman I am.

So… abortion is okay if a man gives his permission? This isn’t about abortion, or the fetus… and it never was.
