Alabama judge allows male teen to sue on behalf of aborted fetus - Game Changer?

Hmmmm, I wonder how this will play out...
quote:
A teenager in Alabama is suing an abortion clinic for terminating the life of his unborn child against his wishes. On Tuesday, an Alabama county court recognized the aborted fetus, "Baby Roe," as a plaintiff in the lawsuit, making the case one of the first of its kind
quote:
Ryan Magers, 19, of Madison County, claims his girlfriend got a medicated abortion at the Alabama Women's Center for Reproductive Alternatives in Huntsville in February 2017 when she was six weeks pregnant, according to legal documents, even though he urged her not to terminate the pregnancy. Alabama recognizes the personhood of a fetus, so Magers is suing on behalf of the fetus and himself.
quote:
“Baby Roe’s innocent life was taken by the profiteering of the Alabama Women’s Center and while no court will be able to bring Baby Roe back to life, we will seek the fullest extent of justice on behalf of Baby Roe and Baby Roe’s father,” Attorney Brent Helms said in a statement. “The time is ripe for consistency in Alabama’s jurisprudence: either we fully acknowledge the personhood of the unborn or we cherry pick which innocents we protect and which ones we trash for profit.”
quote:
Madison County probate court Judge Frank Barger allowed Magers to name his aborted child as a co-plaintiff in his case against Alabama Women's Center, a move that came just four months after the passage of an amendment that gave fetuses personhood, or the same legal rights as any other person, under the state constitution.
quote:
Helms believes the case could make it to the Supreme Court.
quote:
But the case has alarmed pro-choice activists.
quote:
On Twitter, Ilyse Hogue, the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, called it a "very scary case" that is "asserting woman's rights third in line."
quote:
Others called it "unlawful and idiotic."

I've always wondered what would happen if a unilateral abortion would ever be challenged in court if the father said he wanted to keep the child

The "it's her body" argument never held water for me. That child doesn't share the same DNA as any other part of her body.

It's complete horse shite that the father has no say so in the matter.

Me either, it's a pathetic excuse for those who lack responsibility and accountability.

But the father would be financially responsible for the child if it was born.

Now a guy that is paying child’s support needs to sue saying he didn’t want the baby but the mom wouldn’t have an abortion. They need to set the rules straight. Either men have a say in a possible abortion or they don’t pay child support.

I hope this guy wins. It’s incredibly scary that a man can have his child taken away from him in a moment by a woman’s decision and a doctor. Fathers should have equal rights before the baby is born, just like after the baby is born

The mother may carry and birth the child but the father participated in it's creation and either cares for the child for the entirety of it's lifetime or pays child support to the mother for up to 18+ years depending on circumstances in almost all cases.
The fact that the father has never truly had a say in whether or not the child can be born, is mind boggling. Unless of course the father wants the child aborted too. That's fine in that scenario, amirite?...
